«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

LONDON—A new Web site, www.myandywarhol.com, has been created by Joe Simon, who owns an Andy Warhol self-portrait that had been rejected by the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board, reports Artnet. Simon, a U.S. film producer now living in London, purchased the 1964 portrait for $195,000 in 1989. The black and white image on a bright orange-red background had been authenticated by former Warhol employee Frederick Hughes, but rejected by the board and stamped "denied," making it far less valuable. In July 2007, Simon filed a lawsuit against the Warhol board for $120 million, and his story has been written about in Vanity Fair, ARTnews, the Art Newspaper, and elsewhere.
