This just in: a multimillion dollar collection of Warhol works, some twelve paintings including the Athletes series, have gone missing from the Los Angeles home of art collector Richard L. Weisman.
A $1-million reward has been offered by an anonymous source for information leading to the recovery of the paintings. Weisman, who was friends with Warhol, commissioned the silk-screen paintings in the late 1970s – a time when Warhol produced hundreds of pieces of work for wealthy patrons able to pay the roughly $25,000 he charged for portraits.
