Death and Disaster by Paul Alexander

Andy Warhol's death in February 1987 led to an unseemly squabble over the valuation of his estate, with the Warhol Foundation contesting that the total value of the art he left behind was $220 million, whilst a former lawyer for the Warhol estate maintained that the figure of $650 million was nearer the mark. This is a study of what has happened to the estate since the death of the artist, with all the infighting and claims of mismanagement. Its depiction of New York society and its art world combines elements of society, business and art acquisition. Other work by the author includes Rough Magic and James Dean: Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
