Andy Warhol Auction May Be Over, But We Can Still Enjoy His Work

Today was the last day of an online charity auction of a large collection of artwork and photography by the late, great Andy Warhol. The auction was held by Christie's (link below), the number one auction house in the world.

In conjunction with LGBT Pride month, our Andy Warhol @ Christie’s sale features a unique grouping of artworks from Andy Warhol’s intimate life. From the collection of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Andy's Eye Candy features over 100 photographs, prints and drawings that follow the tradition of the male nude as seen through Warhol’s lens and provide never before insight into Warhol’s personal relationships.

They are all fascinating pieces, such as the picture of the man with Vitiligo on the head of his penis, and they're almost all sexy. They're also a great time capsule of Warhol's life, and what gay culture was in the 70s and early 80s, when it was still very much underground, or at least a source of secrecy and shame for most of the country. 

The auction ended today, and the prices are pretty outrageous. You can still click through and look at all the pieces, which I highly recommend. Here is but a taste of what you'll find...
