One more Haring shot, this time with Basquiat. And keeping with our running theme, today I met a woman in the gallery who was trying to find the "place where they verify Warhols" because when she was a child, Andy apparently did a street artist portrait of her at the World's Fair and it had been hanging in her parents' house ever since over the piano until she recently saw a Warhol show in DC and recognized the signature. She had a photo of it, and it was nothing like any of his early work, this would have 1963 think, but she has a home movie of him doing the drawing and it has been proven that he was in fact at the Fair that same day, so who knows. I told she'd better go get some insurance.
