Warhol's Last Supper for $2M

"Details of the Last Supper" (1986) by Andy Warhol
City Review:
Art/Auctions
November 12, 2003:

Despite a recent controversy based on an article in the November 2003 issue of Vanity Fair involving The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.'s handling of authentications of works by Andy Warhol, his works continue to pop up all the time in contemporary art auctions. Lot 37, "Details of the Last Supper," is numbered PA822.017 by the foundation. A silkscreen on canvas, it measures 113 by 228 inches and was executed in 1986. Because of its scale and bold image, it should be interesting to see how it fares. It has an estimate of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 and is one of the artist's strongest works. It sold for $2,248,000. Aby Rosen, the New York City real estate entrepreneur was the underbidder on this lot and two other Warhol lots.
