Andy Warhol's Turtleneck For Sale

Once again Coco Perez has inspired a blog post. Andy Warhols turtleneck. The Halston Casmere turtleneck has a price tag close to the 15,000 dollar range.( of course its Halston )  Seems to raise the question where would one wear Andy Warhols turtleneck ?  I know it wont be worn just being funny. So if your in the market for such a piece of pop art  history go to Paul Fraser Collectibles

At a vintage store a black cashmere Halston turtleneck not worn by an art icon would go for 50.00-200.00 depending on condition. My friend who is a collector of oodles of vintage did a guesstimating for me.

This whole post got me thinking. We have a culture of  restaurant chains and some museum's are built on celebrity artifacts. If they show it we will come. Every time a person of note posts a twit pic. Seriously who hasn't hastily clicked on a twit pic of some celeb's half eaten food. *raises hand* love to say. I'm above it but not so lucky. I clicked on a Picture of Donnie Wahlberg pumping gas the other day.Just to kinda hit home the fact we love pop culture. Our fascination with the artists who generate it . Is something that has been around forever. With tech being fused into our lives it only intensifies this fascination. So will Andy Warhols turtleneck sell?Absolutely it will and quickly. I would love to see Warhols turtleneck make one last red carpet appearance. On a person who is vibrant and full of life. Someone Andy would have entertianed at the factory. Then it can be put in acid free paper or perhaps on exhibit at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburg. So I leave you with a kind of funny comparison. Thanks to the 30 people who thought my coffee was facinating . The Katy Perry pic does look a little pop art like actually.
