Garage Sale Warhol a Fake?
When a British tourist came back from Las Vegas with a $5 painting he'd bought at a garage sale and told everybody he was pretty sure a 10-year-old Andy Warhol had done it, people flipped out, but now Warhol's brother and a bevy of art experts say its a fake. Everybody wanted to believe so badly that this was real: Headlines stated unequivocally that the image of singer Rudy Vallee was a Warhol, which tourist Andy Fields brought from a drug addict who said his aunt used to babysit the pop-art icon. But now that it's going on display at the Royal Western Academy, folks are lining up to throw some cold water on the story.
