Elizabeth Taylor portrait auctioned for 10 million

A never-seen-before portrait of Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor by artiste Andy Warhol has fetched a whopping US$ 10 million at an auction.

The piece titled titled Silver Liz, was painted in 1963 and has been kept hidden away in a private collection for the last 20 years, reported Contactmusic.

Warhol's work went under the hammer at Christie's auction house in London on Wednesday as part of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Auction.

The painting was sold to an anonymous bidder for US$ 10,141,875.
