The idea of someone forgetting they have a Warhol is not at all far-fetched since there are a ton of low-price prints out there, but this is a pretty exceptional piece. Super interesting to note that it’s unauthenticated.

I had that problem. Shoo him away with a broom, and then put down some mothballs so that he doesn’t come back. Works every time.

He’s just “Vince from next door” when he’s not pretending to be Satan(ish).

Schrödinger’s Warhol.

That reminds me of the time I forgot I had Andy Warhol just hanging around in my basement. He was in pretty rough shape by the time I remembered, but I was still able to get a good price for him.

I still love how I lived in a place in South Oakland (east of downtown Pittsburgh, south of the U of Pitt) that was a block away from where Andy Warhol was born and grew up. I highly recommend the Warhol museum on the North Shore, haven’t been since ‘99 but the Silver Clouds room was...amazing. 

i wish i was a friend of alice cooper.

They’re Kinkades + Five Minutes.

“I’m Alice Cooper” is pretty good provenance.

I have a friend who has a winter home on a golf course in Arizona. Alice Cooper is a member of the golf club. Steve (my friend) has golfed with him a couple of times. He says that Alice Cooper is one of the single nicest, most down-to-earth, genuine people he’s ever met. 

This reminds me of how Warhol used to visit Dali when he held court at the St. Regis Hotel in New York. They were definitely two of a kind. It’s not a surprise they were actually good friends—each was probably the only person on the planet who could really understand the other.

Saw Cooper on the Gruesome Twosome tour several years back and he was STILL killin it.

I still have all my Dandy Warhols cds and, while I don’t listen to them as often as I used to, I don’t think I’ll be parting with them soon.  Haven’t checked if they’re authenticated or what they’re worth...

I saw a Warhol in storage once. It hadn’t been stored very well.

Lighting you up because that’s interesting.

It’s an unauthenticated Warhol, as it’s unsigned and there’s few ways to truly authenticate it, as the Andy Warhol Foundation dissolved their authentication board back in 2011. The only thing that the dealer who has attempted to authenticate the print can determine is that the silkscreen dates from 1964-65. But even w…

Relatable!

To be fair, it’s not a very good Warhol. It’s not even a very good member of his electric chair series. But as a Warhol fan, I’d still want to keep it.

Ever since his satanic screed, praising graduating high school, I have kept my children from owning his music and made sure they dropped out of school mid-semester, which honestly has been a real blessing, since my children are homeschooled.

Cooper is more of a “normie”, despite his stage persona, so I can understand why he didn’t fit in with The Factory. His religiosity wouldn’t really mesh with them. I don’t think most people would have fit in there, even those of us who are not religious. Plus, I think we’ve all been given something that is fine but…
