Another pop art work, "Half Face with Collar," by Roy Lichtenstein, with a presale estimate of $15 million to $20 million, didn't sell. But a second Liechtenstein work, "Study for New York State Mural," sold for $3.9 million, just below its presale estimate. The work is a colorful stained glasslike painting that was a proposal for a large mural for the Empire State Plaza Art Collection in Albany, N.Y., that was never realized. Another highlight included "Beggar's Joys," by Philip Guston. Although it sold for $10.2 million and set a record for the artist at auction, Sotheby's said, the sale price fell far below the presale estimate of $15 million. The artist's previous record was $7.3 million, set in 2005 for "The Street."
