    ANDY Warhol's Liz, Jackie and Judy may help Sotheby's sell as much as US$57 million of his celebrity portraits at its bellwether auctions next month in New York.

    A rarely seen silkscreen of actress Elizabeth Taylor by the US artist, estimated at about US$30 million, will lead the Nov 11 and 12 sales of portraits of seven female actresses, singers and socialites. The 1963 Liz #3 (Early Colored Liz), one of Warhol's earliest of the late movie star, has been on public view only once since 1972.
