Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by johnerotten on May 17, 2007 14:09:41 GMT 1, Warhol car crashes sales barrier
A new record was set for work by Andy Warhol when a painting of a car crash sold for $71.7m (ยฃ36.3m) in New York. The 1963 painting, Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I), depicts an overturned car on fire.
It easily beat the previous auction record for work by the pop art pioneer, set last November when a painting of Chairman Mao sold for $17.4m (ยฃ8.8m).
The sale, at Christie's, was part of the second most-lucrative art auction ever, earning a total of $385m (ยฃ195m).
Final figures beat Christie's most optimistic expectations by some $80m, while only four of 78 works on offer failed to sell.
The market wasn't just hungry, it was ravenous Christie's chairman, Christopher Burge Records were broken by more than half of the 50 artists represented, including British artist Damien Hirst, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter and Donald Judd. Another Warhol painting, Lemon Marilyn, fetched $28m (ยฃ14m).
Featuring the avant garde artist's seminal subject, actress Marilyn Monroe, it had remained in the same hands since the year of its creation.
"It was one of the most remarkable sales I've ever seen," said Christie's honorary chairman Christopher Burge, who also served as auctioneer.
"The market wasn't just hungry, it was ravenous."
However, none of the works on sale managed to match the $72.84 million fetched by a Mark Rothko at Sotheby's on Tuesday night, which shattered the record for post-war art at auction. Prices have been pushed up by the expanding art market, with buyers from Asia, Russia and the Middle East mixing with traditional collectors.
According to Christie's, 18% of buyers at last night's sale were from Asia, nearly matching the 19% who hailed from Europe.
"This boom has been going on for three or four years and its getting stronger and stronger," says Daniel Morris of Corfield Morris - an independent company advising art and antique collectors.
"These things are now becoming status symbols for the uber-wealthy.
"They used to have other assets - race horses or Porsches - but now you have to have a Damien Hirst on the wall."
'Individual scenario'
Individual buyers make up a large part of the market, with hedge fund billionaire Steven A Cohen and Las Vegas magnate Steve Wynn - who accidentally put his elbow through a Picasso last year - among the leading clients.
With records continuing to be broken, collectors are feeling encouraged to put works up for sale, which in turn drives prices higher.
But, warned Christie's, not every piece is guaranteed to break records.
"The Lemon Marilyn, which sold for $28m, was from the first series of Marilyn Monroe pictures Andy Warhol did, " said a Christie's spokesperson.
"That fact, plus the knowledge that it had a single owner and was bought directly from Warhol's first New York one-man show for $250 - all made it more desirable."
"There are individual scenarios for each individual piece of art."

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by rockhopper on Jul 28, 2007 21:04:36 GMT 1, I'd like to buy a copy of Warhols Marilyn print, but i'm not sure where to start or what to look for, i wondered if someone here might help. I've established that the original portfolio of 10 colourways, edition of 250 was pubished in America around 1967, these i am pretty sure are out of my price range However there was a European editon, published in the 1970's by Sunday B Morning. These prints used the original screens from 1967 edition, but were disowned by Warhol It is one of these Sunday B Morning editons that i would like to buy, but i am unsure how to prove the print genuine. Can anyone here offer help, advice or point me in the relavant direction Thanks

Not sure why. The Gallart one works but you need to manually search for Warhol pages. They seem to be selling the prints seperately for $500.
The colorways I have I'd accept ยฃ200 for and have a COA from Gallart. Anyone interested feel free to e-mail. If you live in London I would hand deliver.

In the meantime I will just say - the 80's blue ones are significantly cheaper on ebay if you widen your search to Europe. Mine came from Germany. They are lovely prints and far brighter colours than you can see on screen - day-glo pink etc. They are also very big!

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by Strange Al on Sept 13, 2007 11:09:00 GMT 1, SJH - I think it's worth adding that there is much conjencture about whether any of the 1970s and 1980s Marilyn prints, which were published by Sunday B Morning, were actually authorised by Warhol or his representatives.
Rumour has it that Warhol donated the screens from the original 1960s Marilyn run (i.e., the official print run, which now sells for tens of thousands) to Sunday B Morning and they used these to make the prints. Some of these prints were allegedly signed by Warhol "This is not by me. Andy Warhol". From my research, whether these rumours are true and that the prints were in fact authorised has not been confirmed.
If you're going to consider buying a Sunday B Morning version, it's worth remembering it may just be an expensive backdoor print (albeit an old one). Alternatively, it could be the cheapest Warhol you're ever likely to get. Make up your own mind.
Rob - I know that may not be too much help, but given the apparent factual situation I think is about all anyone can really say.
It may be worth emailing the Warhol Foundation and getting their side of the story. That said, the reputation of the Warhol Foundation in these matters is far from perfect.
If anyone knows or finds out any more, please add to this thread.
SJH - I think it's worth adding that there is much conjencture about whether any of the 1970s and 1980s Marilyn prints, which were published by Sunday B Morning, were actually authorised by Warhol or his representatives.
Rumour has it that Warhol donated the screens from the original 1960s Marilyn run (i.e., the official print run, which now sells for tens of thousands) to Sunday B Morning and they used these to make the prints. Some of these prints were allegedly signed by Warhol "This is not by me. Andy Warhol". From my research, whether these rumours are true and that the prints were in fact authorised has not been confirmed.

Andy Warhol ๐บ๐ธ Real or Fake? โข Sunday B. Morning Print, by sjh on Sept 13, 2007 14:20:34 GMT 1, Agreed. Wouldn't argue with any of that. With that said they are great prints and make quite an impact.
