Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 256 pages. Published in 2003. The author's breakthrough account. One of the best books on collecting and art. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Richard Polsky's "I Bought Andy Warhol". The contemporary "icon of global desire". The title is an allusion to the cult film, "I Shot Andy Warhol" (1996). Richard Polsky has been an art dealer all his adult life. His book is about two things: His quest to own a Warhol and the impact the artist himself has had on the art market. Polsky set aside $100, 000 to acquire a decent Warhol, but over the years, the price kept going up, up, up, way beyond his means. The story of how he finally nabbed his Warhol (it's the one shown on the book's cover), which became the obsessive focus of his life, is self-deprecating and moving. Polsky also shares with the reader the secrets he learned along the way, the principal one being seemingly obvious: That the longer a collector holds on to a good piece, the more he will come out on top. If he is lucky, he will become rich beyond his wildest dreams. The highest price a Warhol has fetched at auction has long since surpassed $100 Million, an unbelievable sum for a still-debated artist. The smart collectors have been those who, despite facing personal setbacks, major cash flow problems, and irresistible offers, nevertheless hold on to their pieces when most reasonable people think they are crazy to do so. Collectors have always had one decisive advantage over dealers: Their goal is to hold on to (and enjoy) their art. Every dealer, no matter how huge, needs to sell in order to stay in business. Dealing is about buying and selling. Collecting is about finding and timing. Polsky cites many examples to prove his point (which, ironically, collectors themselves often forget). Warhol himself stands out as a classic case study. When he gave up his successful career as an advertising "creative", Warhol struggled at first to get his work as an artist accepted, and ended up taking whatever money was offered for his major pieces in order to survive. He sold his "Campbell's Soup Can" silkscreen multiples (there are 32 in all) in 1962 to a prescient (and nasty) collector for $1000. Adding insult to injury, it was paid to him in monthly installments of less than $100 over two years, resulting in lifetime enmity between artist and collector. The collector, banned permanently, held on to the set for thirty-four years before selling it to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 1996 for $15 Million, a remarkable profit on his $1000 investment. But what would "Campbell's Soup Can" fetch today in the event that it ever became available in the art market? $150 Million. An absolute "must-have" title for Andy Warhol and Richard Polsky collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Richard Polsky. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a classic.

DESCRIPTION - In early 2005, Richard Polsky decided to put his much-loved, hard-won Warhol Fright Wig up for auction at Christie's. The market for contemporary art was robust and he was hoping to turn a profit. His instinct seemed to be on target: his picture sold for $375,000. But if only Polsky had waited. Over the next two years, prices soared to unimaginable heights with multimillion-dollar deals that became the norm and not the exception. Buyers and sellers were baffled, art dealers were bypassed for auction houses, and benchmark prices prayed that trees really do grow to the sky. Had the market lost all reason? In I SOLD ANDY WARHOL (TOO SOON), Polsky leads the way through this explosive, short-lived period when the 'art world' became the 'art market.' He delves into the behind-the-scenes politics of auctions, the shift in power away from galleries, and the search for affordable art in a rich man's playing field. Unlike most in the art world, Polsky is not afraid to tell it like it is as he negotiates deals for clients in New York, London, and San Francisco and seeks out a replacement for his lost Fright Wig in a market that has galloped beyond his means. A compelling backdoor tell-all about the strange and fickle world of art collecting, I SOLD ANDY WARHOL (TOO SOON) takes an unvarnished look at how the industry shifted from art appreciation to monetary appreciation. inventory #12818.
