The executor of Andy Warhol’s estate, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, has decided to auction the remaining artwork that Warhol’s estate owns. The estate originally gave a good number of paintings in Warhol’s collection to establish the Andy Warhol Museum in his hometown of Pittsburgh. In addition, the estate has donated a great deal of money from past art sales. In the spirit of donation, the executor believes that his sale will further the goals of Andy Warhol. It is said that the estate might earn about $100 million from the sale of the remaining paintings in his artwork. The auction is set to begin in November of this year.
