Warhol Collection - Article by Olivia Cole of The Sunday Times

The world's largest private art collection in the world, by Andy Warhol’s is owned by Jose Mugrabi from Bogota, Colombia, the largest Warhol collection warehouse in Newark, New Jersey.

Andy Warhol, born Andrew Warhola in 1928, is considered to be one of the principle founders of the Pop Art movement during the 1960s. An author, filmmaker and music producer, he is most known for his silk screens depicting commercial objects and celebrities.

Last month Alberto Mugrabi described Warhol as a blue chip investment equivalent to owning shares in Microsoft. This week a 1963 Warhol silkscreen, Green Car Crash, will be auctioned at Christie’s in New York. The estimate is £17.5m.

Among the Warhol works owned by the Mugrabis are silkscreens of Chairman Mao — in fuchsia pink — Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, Jacqueline Kennedy, Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Sylvester Stallone and Michael Jackson.
