An Andy Warhol self-portrait completed shortly before his death is expected to sell for up to $40m (\u00a324.3m) at a New York auction next month.<\/p>\n

Painted in 1986, Self-Portrait was among the last to be exhibited before he died after routine surgery aged 58.<\/p>\n

The red-on-black piece, measuring nearly 3m per side, is considered a landmark work by the American pop artist.<\/p>\n

The painting wil go under the hammer on 11 May.<\/p>\n

Of the large self-portraits Warhol painted in 1986, the other six are all in museums or in collections.<\/p>\n

“It is a rare event that a work of this grandeur and stature comes to market,” said Amy Cappellazzo of Christie’s.<\/p>\n

“With all the other examples in museums, it will be the last chance that buyers will have to bid on a work that shifted art history.”<\/p>\n

The current record price for a Warhol self-portrait is $32.6m (\u00a319.8m) set last May in Sotheby’s in New York.<\/p>\n

In February another self-portrait of the artist sold for \u00a310.79m ($17.44m) at Christie’s in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
