Good story about Alice Cooper, fame hound, meeting Andy Warhol, fame hound, and buying one of Warhol’s Little Electric Chair silk screens.
Fast Forward 50 years and Alice discovers a multi-million dollar work of art in a tube, never having been displayed after he bought it for $2500.
Today Alice says it makes sense that he bought it, even though he doesn’t remember it, because he was in a fog of drink and drugs. Shep Gordon says it totally made sense for him to buy it, because his girlfriend liked it, the electric chair and all. And what a happy ending!
Great story – always nice to know people before they were famous. No kidding, I just bought a Matt Berry t-shirt off a Lids clearance rack a couple weeks ago in Tampa.
Love Alice and Andy. This is kind of like finding a case of unopened Topps in your parents attic, huh?
