Nurse was at one time the 34th most expensive painting ever sold, purchased on November 9, 2015, by an anonymous buyer for $95,365,000,[1] the then-record price for a piece by an American pop art painter. It had previously sold at auction in 1995 for $1.7 million.[2] Christie's, the auction house involved for the sale, called Nurse "a quintessential Lichtenstein heroine" and stated that the subject was taken from a 1960s comic romance novel.[3]
