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 USD 10,141,875.
