The sale runs from April 26 through May 3.
It features more than 215 paintings, drawings, photographs and prints. Estimates range from $1,500 to $70,000.
The highlights include a 1981 gelatin silver print of Warhol posing with Michael Jackson. It has a $15,000 to $20,000 estimate.
Studio 54 opened in 1977. Its A-list guests included Mick Jagger and Liza Minnelli. Owners Steve Rubell and Ian Shrager served time for tax evasion and the club closed in 1981.
