Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's I Can See the Whole Room!...and There's Nobody in It! is expected to sell for a whopping $35 to $45 million at a Christie's auction in New York next month.

The painting, a comic book-style work that depicts a man looking through a peephole, first set a record when it sold at a 1988 Christie's sale for $2.09 million. It was expected to go for between $800,000 and $1.2 million.

The 1961 work is also poised to break the current record for the most expensive Lichtenstein work ever sold at auction. The current titleholder is “Ohhh ... Alright ...,” which sold for $42.6 million at last year's pop art sale.

I Can See the Whole Room!...is the highlight of Christie’s Post-War and Contemporary sale, scheduled for November 8.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed an anti-trust lawsuit to block AT&T's planned $39 billion merger T-Mobile.

“AT&T’s elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low- priced rival would remove a significant competitive force from the market,” DOJ said in its filing obtained by Bloomberg.

AT&T shares are down about 4 percent on the news, while those of Sprint — seen as losing out if the merger were to go through — are up over 7 percent.
