A red, white and blue 1960-1966 Jasper Johns painting “Flag,” which once hung in Michael Crichton’s bedroom in Los Angeles, is estimated to fetch up to $15 million at Christie’s in New York on May 11. The 98 lots from the estate of the bestselling author and filmmaker are estimated to sell for as much as $75 million. Crichton, who wrote such jumbo thrillers as “Jurassic Park” died in 2008 at 66. Along with works by Picasso, David Hockney and Jeff Koons, the sale features Richard Prince, Andreas Gursky and Karen Kilimnik.
