Andy Warhol screenprints of Beethoven are to go under the hammer

The auction takes place later this month at Sotherby's

A set of screenprints of Ludwig van Beethoven by Andy Warhol is set to go under the hammer to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth.

Auction house Sotheby's estimates the four prints will fetch between £200,000 and £300,000 at the Prints & Multiples sale in London on March 19.

The prints, in the trademark repetitive style of the pop artist, feature block colours against a black background in different combinations.

They were created by Warhol in 1987, the year he died.
