15 minutes of fame

The Last Supper, 1986. Synthetic polymer ink and silkscreen on canvas. Signed and dated by Warhol en verso. April 25, 1985. “I am trying to find another store that sells the sculpture of the Last Supper that’s about one-and-a-half feet — they’re selling it in one of those import stores on Fifth near Lord & Taylor but it’s so expensive there, about $2,500. So I’m trying to find it cheaper in Times Square. I’m doing the Last Supper for Iolas. For Lucio Amelio I’m doing the Volcanoes. So I guess I’m a commercial artist. I guess that’s the score.” Excerpt from The Andy Warhol Diaries, page 645.
