Art appreciation
In 1961, an unknown Andy Warhol gave one of his earliest Campbell’s Soup Can paintings to his brother, telling him that it would be worth a million dollars some day (New York Times link, registration required). The brother’s children would take the picture to school for show-and-tell in a brown paper bag. At home, it would stand on a table and lean against a wall. Earlier this month, the painting sold for $1.2 million. The family couldn’t afford to keep it because of the cost of insurance. Looks like Andy was off by a bit.
