Richard Weisman once observed that “Andy [Warhol] didn’t know the difference between a football and a golf ball.” Hardly a sports buff myself, I surprisingly transform into an avid tennis fan each year during the U.S. Open. Something about the volley rhythm is deeply soothing to me. Well, tonight was the men’s final and I thought I’d honor the sport by posting Andy Warhol’s Chris Evert, which was stolen this week along with nine other Warhol silkscreens from Weisman’s Los Angeles home. Art market experts, including A.A.C.-favorite Tobias Meyer, are “scratching their heads” because the resale of the pieces is virtually impossible due to the insular market for Warhol works.
