Outrageous History!
The Vengeance of the Shot Blue Marilyn
Art dealer and former gallery owner, Richard Polsky, spent a career trying to become the owner of an Andy Warhol silk screen. As a passionate admirer of Warhol's works, Richard eventually achieved his goal of purchasing, not one but two pieces, at separate times. But circumstances resulted in his move to sell both. Although he always believed in a growing monetary value of Warhol's pieces, little did Richard realize just how much that value would sky rocket into the stratosphere in the following years. Richard Polsky and journalist Ernest Granson discuss the magnetic appeal of Warhol and the eccentric world of the art market.
