On May 12th, a rare nine-foot-square self-portrait by Andy Warhol, his “Purple-Hued Fright Wig” painting, was offered for auction at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Sale in New York City. Warhol’s painting had an estimated value of $10,000,000—15,000,000, but after heated bidding the painting sold for $32,562,500. The self-portrait had been put up for auction by the fashion designer Tom Ford, who acquired the acrylic and silkscreen ink work in 1998 from the estate of the artist. Warhol’s iconic and rare self-portrait was executed in 1986, just prior to his unexpected death the following year.
From the young artist in the photo-booth and The Factory of the 1960s, to the art-world elder statesman contemplating his own mortality, Warhol’s self-portraits stand out as an unparalleled body of work. Andy Warhol’s lifelong obsession with self-portraiture and mortality was enhanced by three dangerous encounters during the 1960s. The most dangerous experience occurred on June 3, 1968 when the deranged Valerie Solanas entered The Factory and shot Warhol, who was gravely injured and lucky to have survived. The close encounter with death subsequently inspired the artist to produce numerous self-portraits, culminating in his fright-wig paintings.
Ford’s decision to sell his Warhol self-portrait came after auction houses had achieved astounding results with the artist’s works. Warhol’s 1963 Green Car Crash went for $71.7 Million at Christie’s in 2007, and his 1962 silk-screen painting 200 One Dollar Bills sold for $43.8 million at Sotheby’s in 2009.
This piece includes colorful photographs, a slide show of Warhol's self-portraiture, and a short film about the painting.

Geoff Hargadon is offering "Ca$h For Your Warhol." But he's not a banker, he's a prankster (excuse the half-pun.) The artist started the project after learning that Brandeis University is planning on closing its art museum, and sell off the school's art collection.
Seems like a poignant piece in the midst of an economic crisis. I wonder if anybody will take him up on his offer.
Related question, who would win in a fight Banksy or Warhol?

I've been working on this series of paintings of early 20th century blue collar homes that sprinkle the hillsides here in Pittsburgh. Each painting is comprised of two to three pieces of wood and coated with a high gloss resin which gives the art a toy like appearance. For the past few years I've been living/painting in one of these houses in steel town but what makes this house special is that it is the childhood home of artist Andy Warhol. There is a lot of history here and I really dig hearing the stories of each room told by Andy's brother Paul Warhola. It makes for a very unique studio and place to call home.

200 One Dollar Bills: Andy Warhol’s Fabulous Joke
Unfortunately, Andy Warhol’s not around to enjoy the fabulous joke of his pictures of money grabbing so much money. His 1962 silk-screen painting “200 One Dollar Bills” sold for $43.8 million at Sotheby’s this week, more than four times its estimated selling price. The seven-and-a-half-foot-wide canvas, one of Warhol’s first silk-screen paintings, looks like just what you’d think: 200 one-dollar bills. The current record for a Warhol painting is $71.7 million for “Green Car Crash,” which was sold at Christie’s in 2007. Yes, if you just take a wide look at today’s contemporary art world, that confection of bucks, puff and street smarts, you realize anew that Andy Warhol was the big daddy of it all.
But is this painting, a solid wall of greenbacks, really beautiful? Well, in the art world Warhol completely changed our idea of beauty so, yes, it is. He was also one of the first modern artists to say out loud that money itself is beautiful, is art, which has helped create the reality that, aesthetically speaking, it is as often as not, the price tag, not what it’s attached to, that generates value. So the new owner of “200 One Dollar Bills” got a funny old print on canvas all tarted up with some paint, which he or she succeeded in making super-famous and valuable by paying so much for it. Wow. That’s talent. And as for Warhol, did he already suspect in 1962 that in making his art he would be so good at printing money for many, many years? He was such a cultural clairvoyant, you just know he knew.
This piece includes photographs of Warhol's painting, as well as the short video, “Warhol's 200 One Dollar Bills.”

LOS ANGELES -- Police in Los Angeles are offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of a multimillion dollar collection of original Andy Warhol artwork stolen from a West Los Angeles home.
The thefts happened between Sept. 2 and 3 at the home of businessman Richard L. Weisman on Angelo Drive, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
An employee arrived at the home Sept. 3 and immediately noticed the artwork missing from the dinning room walls. The worker then went to a neighbor's house and called police.
Among the stolen collection were 10 pieces made between 1977 and 1979 depicting famous athletes, police said. A portrait of Weisman was also taken.LOS ANGELES -- Police in Los Angeles are offering a $1 million reward for information... more
