Return of the King: Warhol’s Elvis portrait could fetch $30M at Christie’s sale

‘Double Elvis (Ferus Type)’ depicts the legendary musician in a pose from his 1960 Western movie, Flaming Star.

An Andy Warhol painting of Elvis Presley - the artist’s only full-length portrait - is for sale with an estimated price tag of $30 million.

‘Double Elvis (Ferus Type)’ depicts the hip-swiveling musician holding a revolver, as he appeared in the 1960 Western Flaming Star.

Paintings by Andy Warhol called 'Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr.' (1964), left, and 'Double Elvis [Ferus Type]' (1963) are displayed at Christie's auction rooms in London.

The 1963 black-on-silver portrait is being auctioned by Christie’s in New York on May 17, alongside Warhol’s ‘Most Wanted Men No. 11, John Joseph H., Jr.’ One of a series of mug shot images created by Warhol for the 1964 New York World’s Fair, it’s also expected to fetch $30 million.
