  • lol the fact that his work isnt hard to reproduce says alot about the work itself

  • In 1991 I strolled in the alley delivery door of the Andy Warhol Foundation. What knocked me out was the eye-watering stench of enamel screen-printing ink so thick you could hardly breathe. I couldn't see anybody screen-printing, but Andy's whole routine was to merely delegate others to do his artwork for him. It is well known his mom, secretary, and others signed all of his artwork. Herein lies the simple truth: he considered the moneyed pretentiousness of the art world to be truly sickening.

  • well haha it was probably painted by bridget berlin or someone at the factory to be fair ...

  • People are free to spend their millions however they like, but in some people's view, the issue of 'authenticity' began with Warhol himself. He strikes me as the first 'performance artist'. Or another in a long line of con-artists. However, there is not accounting for taste, and if you like it - enjoy!

  • @Ozzrya91 - Must disagree about Rothko.

  • Guy buys a painting for 195,000. Guy tries to sell painting for 2,000,000. Guy can't and cries about a board. Should have been more informed.

  • This "Authentication Board" is an undemocratic scab on America and violation of EVERYTHING Andy Warhol stands for - Can't have it both ways - Andy Was the most extreme manifestation of true democracy and this royalist board is a throwback to the court of Louis XV - Off with their heads !

  • andy wasnt an idiot, the idiots are the rich pompous buyers who think that art is only decoration
