I bought one of these a few years ago and was told that Sunday B Morning (whoevertheyare)stole the original whateveritis that is was used to produce the print from Warhol and then mass-produced the prints. This is why they are so cheap to buy.

[becksaboo]

Maybe if you ask a more specific question you'll get the answer you want. Otherwise use google!

[dumpsuk]

I can't be any more specific than.. 'any warhol experts out there pm me'. If there are none fair enough.

[ratsneedlovetwo]

Didn't he make soup?

Firstly apologies if there's been a post on this, but i've been away for a while and cant find anything after a good look through the threads...

I just visited the Warhol exhibition in Edinburgh which has been running for the last month, unfortunately no pictures from inside as they're not allowed, however the exhibition has some nice mock ups on the outside (below)...

For anyone who is in the area and has a chance to go, i recommend it (still 1 week left). It's a great chance to see some of Andy's original art and sculptures in the flesh with some classics there like, Marilyn, Jackie, the Screen Tests and Gun to name a few.

Naturally there is the ever present dodgy tourist gallery shop to visit at the end of it all where i picked up a couple of soup can's and a book of Warhol images, i wonder if Andy would see the humorous side of the use of his everyday images on everyday objects in such modern art classics as "Fridge Magnet", "Tea-Cosy", "Mug", "Tea Towel" etc.......





And finally the ones i bought...good value at GBP6.95 each and they'll look good next to each other in a single frame i reckon.

[Hugs]

Went along to the Andy Warhol exhibition today at the gallery of modern art in Brisbane,over 300 works to see by Warhol on display,the biggest collection ever shown outside of the Warhol Musuem in the USA.
Your not allowed to take pics but I mangaged to sneak a few for ya'll.
Also spotted onthe bridge was a Tinker has a Posse sticker...gets everywhere that Tinker doesn't he!!






Sorry about the quality but it's a camera phone,best I could do.
Cheerzden!

[becksaboo]

Yay, tinker sure gets around! Thanks hugs, looks good- much better than the london one.

I have been offered a paper sleeve that would have originally kept some Wathol prints together. It has his signiture along with some notes that he had scribbled. Altogether it looks quite cool in a frame (so I'm being told) and would make a nice conversation piece.

Does anyone have any idea how much such a piece would cost?

[alsbabar]

put it on ebay and find out

[mattmo]

£100
Its likely to be as good as fake as it could / would never be verified.

[artvanderlay]

there's a company in new york that only sells warhol's they can verify the signature for you just type into google warhol mick jagger and the site will pop up i would send you the link but i am not that good on the computer - i collect warhol's and harings and there is a lot of their influences in banksys work if you look

[BONGO]

BONGO CAN UNDERSTAND THE INTEREST OF THE VALUE, BUT WONDERS WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT THIS, NOT WITHSTANDING TO DISPLAY IT

IS THE SIGNATURE ART

WHERE DOES ART BEGIN ANY CELEBRITY TAKE OVER

[artvanderlay]

bongo it is an honor to be on the same thread as you - i have spray painted laugh now on my car and front lawn and everytime i see your tag it looks like my home - did you get a chance to see that guys front door with laugh now on the bay - he told me got over 5g for it -

[rubinity]

Thanks for the advice JonJon

With regards to your comment Bongo, I appreciate what you're saying but as I will not afford a Warhol in the near future and really love his work i'm afraid a signiture may have to do for now. After all what is art, it evokes emotion, if a Warhol signiture on my wall makes me smile then it has served its purpose, even if it is just a reminder that one day I may own an original. Each to their own i guess

[Heavyconsumer]

You should be able to get an excellent opinion on it's authenticity by a signature dealer. There are such people who specialise in the trade of signatures and autographs. Years ago I knew a guy at work who was a commited collecter and dealer of autoghraphs. Sorry, but I would have no idea how to find him now as that company has since closed. Such a person would also be able to give you an exact valuation of this item.

a lot of people collect signatures and if it makes you smile and think of Warhol then it sounds like it will serve it's purpose...

you won't be the first nor will you be the last, so who cares what anyone else says and enjoy it mate... just don't pay over the odds for something that may not be real, check it out first like stated above...

Good luck with it...

[sesssion]

Hi there is a shop called Stanley Gibbons on the strand and above that is an autograph shop called Frasiers. They should be able to tell if its real or not. They are expensive though ,they had a Francis Bacon signature on a postcard £1000.

Hi, if you like his work check out Steve Kaufman (if you havent already) He was Warhol's assistent and has carried on his work. You can pick his stuff up at quite reaonable prices.

[rubinity]

Thanks for the advice guys, it has been much appreciated

[kingdomcome]

interesting? anyone been yet?

Yes it's crap, all very obvious and not very clever, it's a shame I was hoping it would be really good.
