I love WW because there is always something new to learn here at about.com! I had no idea what this was about.

Couldn’t figure it out. Looked at the expanded version. Do you know what the snail shell-like thing is?

WOW! That commanded quite a price. Very interesting to learn the background about this work.

Jeez, that’s gruesome.

Who wants a photo of a dead guy hanging from a utility pole, even if it has been “done up” by Andy Warhol?

Yuck. Oh well, I hope it at least gets put into a climate-controlled vault somewhere, instead of being displayed. :-)

I should have known that was Andy Warhol. The color’s really pretty and I’m really, really glad my old eyes couldn’t see the dead guy hanging from the utility pole.
