Andy Warhol’s artwork sells for whopping prices at auctions around the world, and these two pieces did not disappoint at the most recent Christie’s auction on November 12th.

The famous “Triple Elvis”, done in ink and silver paint in 1963 sold for $81.9million (R907 million). That’s almost one billion Rand. For a picture. The 1966 print named “Four Marlons” sold for $69.6million (R770 million).

Lord but that is a lot of boodle for some pictures, granted they are insanely awesome.
