An Andy Warhol painting found several years ago in Alice Cooper’s garage is expected to fetch a record amount of money when it’s auctioned in Arizona later this year.
The painting, called “Little Electric Chair,” is part of Warhol’s “Death and Disaster” series, which he created in 1964 and 1965. A girlfriend, who was friends with Warhol, gave Cooper the painting in the 1970s as a birthday gift, the rocker says.
Experts with Scottsdale, Arizona auction house Larsen Gallery say they expect the canvas to bring in anywhere between $2.5 million and $4.4 million.
It hits the auction block October 23rd.
Can you name anything that’s truly worth $4.4 million? Other than a house or a car, what’s the most you’ve spent on a single item?
