ABOVE: Detail from Andy Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians (1986), Lot 253 in Sotheby’s auction of Old Master, Modern, and Contemporary prints, taking place today.

Sotheby’s London will be auctioning off about 250 lots of prints today, covering a grab-bag of styles and periods: a smattering of Rembrandts, some Munchs, a few Picassos, and a healthy shot of Warhols, such as Cowboys and Indians, seen above.

Prints—those poor cousins of the art world, one step up from university poster sales—tend to get relegated to these types of catch-all liquidations, but there are some nice items in this catalogue. And while prints don’t really have the cachet of uniqueness and singularity, it’s honestly the only way most non-Millionaires could ever own a pedigreed work by, say, Miró (estimated price: £2,500-£3,000) or Matisse (pegged between £5,000 and £6,000). Expensive enough that you’re not going to find them for sale at the 7-11, but way cheaper than a car. Egalitarian in their own way, bringing major artists’ minor works into the minor homes of minor collectors.

Well, it doesn’t sound so nice when it’s phrased that way, but you know what we mean. Bidding starts at 11 am GMT, so it actually started an hour ago by EST. Uh, get out your chequebook and read fast.
