Andy Warhol's lost Amiga art found

Images he created when demonstrating an Amiga in 1985 surfaced in 2024

To a casual viewer, they look like low resolution images with a very limited number of colors, and it’s not completely unfair to say they bear some resemblance to something my kids would have created in Microsoft Paint when they were little. They could have done a Shatner-like maneuver in print advertising, having Warhol mime in front of the computer, with a copy of the image on screen but the mouse unplugged, just to make it look like he was producing it live. At any rate, I think it’s fantastic that the images Andy Warhol created on that day survive, we now know where the copy is, and the person who preserved them for 39 years will have a chance to get them into the hands of someone who will enjoy them, and use the proceeds to fund his retirement.
