Lot Essay

In the 1980s Pop Art phenom Andy Warhol was a fixture at Americana auctions and fairs, amassing a sizeable collection of furniture and folk art that filled his townhouse at 57 East 66th Street. This charming portrait of two young girls attributed to Joseph Whiting Stock hung, pride-of-place, above the mantel in Warhol's bedroom (fig. 1).
