A community portal about Andy Warhol with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Andrew Warhola, better known as Andy Warhol, was an American artist, avant-garde filmmaker, writer and celebrity. Warhol also worked as a publisher, music producer and actor. He had experience in commercial art, and was one of the founders of the Pop art movement in the United States in the 1950s.

Lost Warhol painting could fetch more than $1M

Sotheby's is auctioning a self-portrait by Andy Warhol that was recently found after being forgotten in a closet in New York City for more than 40 years.

The painting belongs to Cathy Naso. She was 17 years old when she got a part-time job as a receptionist at Warhol's Factory.

Two years later, in 1967, Warhol gave her a self-portrait inscribed to her.

The Brooklyn resident displayed the painting briefly and then stored it in a closet. It remained there until this year.

It is on display at Sotheby's New York offices starting Friday and will be auctioned at a Nov. 11 sale of contemporary art.

The auction house estimates it will sell for $1 million or more.
