ANDY WARHOL AT GOSS GALLERY AND AN INVESTMENT TIP

Now through May 11 at the Goss Gallery, see Christophe von Hohenberg’s photographs of the artists, designers, and celebrities going up the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral for Andy Warhol’s 1987 memorial service. We saw the exhibit, “The Day the Factory Died,” on Tuesday, and the black-and-white images of Liza Minelli, Raquel Welch, Calvin Klein, Paloma Picasso, Diane von Furstenberg, and Yoko Ono are stunning. In addition the exhibit has culled together some of Warhol’s prints, including a series on Jewish thinkers and a stardusted Mickey Mouse. If you don’t have the cash to purchase your own Warhol, get the book, like we did, which is filled with the photographs and various written tributes to Andy from his friends. However if you do have the cash, gallery associate James Cope told us that “art is becoming the new fashion for the hedge fund set. It is being seen more as an investment. Instead of the stock market, which goes up and down, art primarily just increases in value.”
