Dennis Hopper shoots Andy Warhol…and Mao?

One of my favorite recent news items. I read different things about why Mr. Hopper shot his Warhol, this article states that Mr. Hopper thought Mao was actually in the room with him or following him with his/its eyes as he walked around the room. Another said…look around the web for all the stories. The auction catalog had this screenprint selling for 30 grand- it sold for $302,000.00. I would have paid $100,000 for each bullet hole. I guess the buyer did, in a way.  I have never ever desired a piece of art more than this one.
