Warhol self-portrait up for grabs
A self-portrait of Andy Warhol that sat in a closet for more than 40 years will be auctioned in New York next month.
The late artist gave the piece to Cathy Naso, a receptionist at his Factory studio, in 1967. She displayed the work briefly, then stored it in a cupboard.
Inscribed by Warhol, it is expected to fetch at least $1m (£604,576) when it is sold at Sotheby’s on 11 November.
“I would love to keep it forever, but it really belongs to the art world,” Naso told the New York Times.
