Dive into Warhol in Miami

Your chance to buy an Andy Warhol that's only had one previous owner - Andy himself!

If our story yesterday about alleged forger John Re has made you a little wary in believing in the state provenance of certain works of art - here, thank goodness, is something that is bona-fide 100% trustworthy! 

Christie’s, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, and JW Marriott Marquis Miami are hosting a pop-up Andy Warhol sale today at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami and it features a curated group of more than 20 paintings, photographs, prints, and works on paper, many of which have never been seen before and with price points ranging from $3,000 to $50,000.
