Warhol Gets a Lot More than 15 Minutes

Following up on last month's post about this work, Andy Warhol mania continues. At Wednesday evening's contemporary sale, Sotheby's sold this 1986 self-portrait by the artist for a staggering $32,562,500, more than double its high estimate. The last one from this series to sell on the auction block sold in 2002 for $3.1 million. People cannot get enough Warhol right now, a fact which would make no one happier than Mr. Warhol, himself!
