April 01 - Sold

Andy Warhol's 1962 "Campbell’s Elvis" painting was sold for US$2.85 million at the Art Basel in Hong Kong. This work is the first painting in which Andy Warhol combined two of his most famous motifs: Elvis Presley and the Campbell's soup can.  Its latest buyer (who is currently anonymous) joins a starry line-up of collectors who have owned this painting—it first belonged to Salvador Dali and has also hung in the home of casino magnate Steve Wynn.
