I've reviewed as many of the pieces as time permits. Am working on adding more details to each item as I can. The history on many Andy Warhol pieces and how they came to be is so fascinating it deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. The scans are low resolution so it gives you just a flavour of his work (the originals are a 1000 times better) and should inspire you to go out and find his work whether that be in official books or officially sanctioned prints. Even better is to go to museums and find his work - all major museums around the world should have examples - if they don't then what are they waiting for? Petition them to put that right as Andy Warhol is one of the major names in 20th century art. - 2024
