Description
THE MUSEUM IS PLEASED TO PRESENT THIS UNIQUE AND VERY UNUSUAL LOT FOR COLLECTORS OF BOTH ANDY WARHOL ART AND DIANA ROSS MEMORABILIA!THIS ORIGINAL 36.5"x 36.5", HIGH-QUALITY LITHOGRAPHIC PRINT CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF DONALD ZUBALSKY. MR. ZUBALSKY WAS AN ART DIRECTOR FOR THE COVER OF THE DIANA ROSS: SILK ELECTRIC ALBUM / CAPITOL RECORDS / 1982.OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MR. ZUBALSKY ACQUIRED THIS PRINT FROM THE WARHOL STUDIO IN NEW YORK - PLEASE NOTE THAT WE SUBMITTED THIS PRINT TO THE ANDY WARHOL FOUNDATION FOR VERIFICATION. THEIR OFFICIAL RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS A REPRODUCTION WITH REPRODUCTION WARHOL SIGNATURE. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH AN EXPERT AT ONE OF THE MAJOR NEW YORK AUCTION HOUSES, WE BELIEVE THIS LITHOGRAPH TO BE THE CAMERA-READY ALBUM ARTWORK FOR THE DIANA ROSS: SILK ELECTRIC ALBUM - AND AN ORIGINAL WARHOL SHOP PRINT.TO REPEAT, HERE IS A STRIKING "WARHOL" LITHO WITH NO AP (ARTIST'S PROOF) NOTATION OR PRINT EDITION NUMBERS. ITEM IS UNDERSTOOD TO HAVE BEEN CREATED BY THE WARHOL STUDIO IN NEW YORK AS MECHANICAL ART FOR THE MAKING OF THE DIANA ROSS: SILK ELECTRIC ALBUM COVER. THE PIECE IS NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS A SIGNED WARHOL, NOR IS IT AT THIS MOMENT OFFICIALLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO HIS BODY OF WORK. IF THIS WERE AN ATTRIBUTABLE UNIQUE WARHOL PRINT WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD BE WORTH A MINIMUM OF $80,000. WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AN AMAZING CONVERSATION PIECE, A STUNNING PRINT AND THE ACTUAL ARTWORK FOR THE DIANA ROSS ALBUM COVER. ONCE YOU SEE THIS ART, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE IF THE WARHOL AUTHENTICATION BOARD BROADENS ITS AWARENESS OF THESE WARHOL STUDIO PRODUCED PIECES AND CLAIMS THEM AS THE ORIGINALS THAT THEY ARE - THEN THIS PIECE WILL SKYROCKET IN VALUE OVERNIGHT. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COURT CASES CURRENTLY UNDERWAY TO FORCE THE WARHOL BOARD TO FURTHER OPEN THEIR EYES TO THIS KIND OF MATERIAL. IT IS IRONIC THAT WARHOL, HIMSELF, CONSIDERED SUCH STUDIO PIECES TO BE HIS "ORIGINAL ART". PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS / WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN UNUSUAL AUCTION - BUT WE GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED WITH THIS RARE PIECE.PLEASE NOTE: CONDITION IS OVERALL EXCELLENT WITH SMALL NICK BOTTOM RIGHT. PHOTOS SHOW PLEXI FRAME / THIS FRAME HAS BEEN REMOVED AND IS NOT A PART OF THE AUCTION.PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT SINCE PRINT CAN NOT BE ROLLED, THIS WILL REQUIRE QUITE A LARGE SHIPPING BOX - US SHIPPING BY UPS GROUND WILL MOST LIKELY BE APPX. $200 - ALSO NOTE, IF YOU ARE A FOREIGN BIDDER, PLEASE MAKE CONTACT FIRST TO DISCUSS SHIPPING POSSIBILITIES, SINCE SIZE OF PRINT IN BOX MAY EXCEED POSTAL SIZE LIMITS FOR YOUR COUNTRY. REPEAT: IF YOU ARE A FOREIGN BIDDER, PLEASE MAKE CONTACT BEFORE YOU BID TO SEE IF WE CAN SHIP A BOX THIS SIZE TO YOU! PRINT CAN ALSO BE PICKED UP IN PERSON IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA.
