Andy Warhol

I remain fascinated by the prices of his work.

 "A massive painting by pop artist Andy Warhol, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), is going up for auction at Sotheby’s later this month—and it is expected to fetch some $80 million.

The piece, which is 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide, is one of the largest panels from Warhol’s Death and Disaster series, which he created as a meditation on his obsession with mortality. The last time a piece from this series went on sale was almost a decade ago; Silver Car Crash sold for $105 million in 2013."
