Cash for Your Warhol!

Cash for Your Warhol!

Art collectors who need some quick cash and happen to own a work by Andy Warhol may be in luck. A new Web site has appeared, called Cash for Your Warhol, which promises to quickly sell your piece by the famed Pop artist “regardless of the size, price, or condition.”

“Our nationwide network of investors has helped lots of art collectors in situations like yours,” the site reads. "They can often make you a written offer within hours of contacting us, regardless of economic conditions, and have your problems solved within days.”

Is it real? Too good (or crass) to be true? Well, maybe. Created by Boston-based artist Geoff Hargadon, the site was inspired by the “Cash for Your House” signs that Hargadon has seen in neighborhoods hit particularly hard by the recession. He commissioned the same Texas company that produces the “Cash for Your House” signs to create “Cash for Your Warhol” signs, which he has posted around Boston, including near Brandeis University's Rose Art Museum, whose future remains uncertain after the president of Brandeis announced in January that the school would dissolve the museum and sell off its collection.

Hargadon, who is best-known for his previous parody of Christo and Jean-Claude's The Gates project in Central Park, for which he sold miniature, homemade versions of the orange artworks, told Artnet that the response to Cash for Your Warhol has been mixed: “I have received a lot of calls, most of them hang-ups (curiosity?), but a few have probably been real. I haven't returned the calls yet cause I don't know what to say to them quite yet. Would I buy a Warhol from them? Sure, but I haven't figured out the pricing thing.”

In the meantime? Get in touch with Cash for Your Warhol and, as the site says, “<snap!> you could be in contact with the buyer of your Warhol today!”
