From New York Times: "Uptown, art lovers were bidding as much as $38.4 million this week for Andy Warhol’s early paintings. Downtown, where Mr. Warhol reigned for years as a pop artist-provocateur, things were considerably different. Fans of the wraith-like Warhol now have a statue of their man standing in a mini-park, near his former studio at Broadway and 17th."
