David Hockney's The Splash
Painted in Los Angeles in 1966, The Splash is one of the most iconic paintings of the 20th century. The second in a three-part sequence of variations on the same theme, David Hockney's painting is heading to Sotheby's as part of the Contemporary Art Evening Auction and is expected to sell for more than $25 million. The Splash was last under the hammer in 2006, when it sold for just under $4 million. The auction begins on February 11th and is a rare opportunity to own a legendary piece of museum-worthy artwork.
