| Warhol and his expanding profit line |
  |
Warhol produced a record number of paintings during his life-time, due to his assembly-line means of production and his use of the same images again and again in slightly varying formats which despite the resultant sameness were in effect Warholian originals. Warhol quite blatantly confessed that where possible he would increase the value of his paintings by various means; the same background colour. The two are designed to hang together however the owner wants... .it just makes them bigger and mainly makes them cost more." He cites the example of a Liz Taylor painting; Such blatant honesty did not put buyers off. After all, the canvas still displayed that all important feature of the Andy Warhol signature. |
