Most describe Andy Warhol to be the father of advertisement, he discovered Edie Sedgwick one of personal favorites people in general, and worked with Velvet Underground. It's to my understanding that his paintings were stolen form a home a few weeks back. Here is more information from the NYTimes.
"The valuable collection included 10 silk-screen paintings of famous sports figures, among them Muhammad Ali, Chris Evert, Jack Nicklaus and O. J. Simpson. According to investigators, the artwork was on display in the dining room of Richard Weisman, a businessman and art connoisseur whose well-known collection was featured in a book he published in 2003, “Picasso to Pop: The Richard Weisman Collection.”
The paintings are about 40 inches by 40 inches each, and were created between 1977 and 1979."
Opinions, or words on past Warhol work?
