Reply to comment by fresh_gumbo in TIL in the 1970s, artist Andy Warhol thought that his artwork wouldn’t go up in value after his death. In May of 2022, Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe sold for $195 Million - making it the most expensive American artwork ever sold at auction. by waitingforthesun92

Read the title closely, as Warhol stated that he thought his artwork would not go up in value after his death. The irony of this, is that one of his artworks is now the most expensive American artwork ever sold…
