Andy Warhol's lost Amiga art found

Apparently it'll be worth ~26 mil on auction. Shall we chip in?

Send a message via ICQ to Predseda
If I had 26 million to waste, I would re-run Amiga assembly line ;-)

But... what about the NFT cash they could rake in?

These are also only of interest to Andy Warhol fans.

These valuations are pretty silly, but the files themselves are pretty cool. This is one warez loot I wouldn't mind seeing leaked somewhere on the net.

These were really heady days for Amiga. Getting Warhol to do some stuff wasn't a bad publicity move at all. Here's some of that art and an interview with AW:

Yeah, I always found the Debbie Harry portrait very well done and it's cool that we have now the picture available in top quality.

Thanks for the link to the interview.
