Warhol's Marilyn to fetch £7.7m at auction

An Andy Warhol portrait of Marilyn Monroe originally bought for just £129 is up for auction - with a £7.7 million price tag.

The private collector who bought Lemon Marilyn in 1962 is set to make a 60,000 per cent profit on his investment if the picture meets its estimated value in New York next month.
