Alice Cooper reportedly discovered an Andy Warhol silkscreen print in a storage locker that could be worth millions, according to The Guardian. Cooper found the rare piece rolled up in a tube. Titled the “Little Electric Chair,” the work was part of Warhol’s Death and Disaster series. Warhol based his print on a 1953 press photo of the death chamber at Sing Sing prison where Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed that year for sharing secrets with the Soviet Union. Cooper’s girlfriend at the time, Cindy Lang, purchased the print from Warhol in 1972, paying $2,500 for the piece. Warhol expert Richard Polsky has said that he is certain the piece is authentic. In 2015, another “Little Electric Chair” print sold at auction for $11.6 million. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
