In 1979 Andy Warhol snapped a shot of the actress with his Polaroid camera, which is now going on auction at the Children's Museum of the Arts this Thursday. The 3-inch by 4-inch snapshot is not the one in his Polaroid book, and is already valued at more than $8,000.
Reportedly the artist's Polaroids were used for his eventual silk-screen portraits. Warhol had "intended his Polaroids to serve as time-capsule glimpses of a specific era — namely, the '70s and early '80s when he was at the height of his fame."
There will plenty more up for auction, as well, including works of art by David Byrne, Yoko Ono and John Waters. More details on Thursday's art auction, and the works on the block, here





She is so damn hot.

I couldn't resist :)
I will not be among the bidders, but this will bring much more than 8 grand. I predict a number between 50 & 100 thousand, closer to the latter. What say you gothamites?
What a clean, uncluttered look for her - this was actually a couple years after her one iconic season on "Angels." Just flat striking!
So fresh & natural... before all this "plastic" surgery people get.
