UK man buys Warhol sketch for five US dollars

Posted:

An art collector and businessman from Devon made an unknowing investment when he purchased an Andy Warhol sketch from a Las Vegas jumble sale for only five dollars. Andy Fields made the purchase thinking he was simply in for a bargain, but little did he realize. "My friend and I were going out to garage sales and naturally I was looking for smaller things -- art and jewellery and I came across these pictures with him and I thought, well there s a bit of a bargain, only five dollars for five pictures and indeed," Fields said. "It wasn t really until I d done all of the research and found out that it did lead to about 1939, possibly 1940 when Andy Warhol was in bed with cholera, that I realized to the full extent what we were sitting on, even though it s just a sketch, but it could potentially change history being his earliest sketch of modern art. I think he started doing modern art at about the age of 23," he added. Fields purchased the art work from a drug user whose aunt used to care for Warhol as a child. The illustration is believed to have been drawn by Warhol when he was 10 or 11-years-old. Fields contacted a US-based art appraiser, who gave him the value of the work. "He s put a figure of USD$2.1 million dollars on it, so we ll see. Not a bad investment from five bucks," Fields added. The signed sketch is of 1930 s singer and actor Rudy Vallee. Fields said he has no plans to sell the work, but wishes to have it displayed at a museum so Warhol fans can all enjoy it.
