"Liam's chin rests gently on Noel's shoulder, a pose of physical proximity and emotional ambiguity that destabilises their hard-edged public personas."
"It feels like this is just the most perfect moment for this painting to come up again. It has come full circle."
Sotheby's in London is set to auction 'Liam+Noel (Gallagher)' by Elizabeth Peyton, estimated between £1.5 million to £2 million. The 1996 painting, inspired by a photo of Liam and Noel Gallagher, captures the Oasis brothers in a moment of emotional intimacy, contrasting their tough public images. This auction is timely, coinciding with the upcoming Oasis reunion shows in the UK and Ireland, making it a significant piece in pop history. Sotheby's specialist Antonia Gardner highlighted the artwork’s relevance, noting its perfect moment for reemergence.
