ANDY WARHOL SIGNED PHOTO OF LITTLE EDIE FOR AUCTION

“Andy Warhol’s Exposures” includes a chapter on the Beales. This is the origin of the photograph of Little Edie that will be auctioned at Christie’s on April 5th, 2013. This is the book where Andy Warhol published a photograph of Little Edie and it was one of the same series that we are offering in the auction.

Warhol named this chapter “The Best Family” and he started his introduction to the Beales by saying “I think the best family in the world is the Kennedy-Onassis-Bouvier-Beale-Radziwill family.” He goes on to say that “they have so many great characteristics in the family. He lists them all and included is “Edie Jr.” as we know her “Little Edie.”

Andy Warhol writes that just like Jackie and Lee were the best sister act in town, Big Edie and Little Edie were the best mother-daughter act. He had visited Grey Gardens a few years before Big Edie died and he said that he went into Big Edie’s bedroom and wrote “Even though she was in her seventies, she was beautiful. She had a lot of pure white hair, a beautiful straight nose, and big blue eyes.” He also mentions when Little Edie came into the bedroom and mentions “Her head was wrapped in a scarf because she shaved her hair off years ago….” – and he goes on to say “She looked very glamorous in that brown silk scarf.” This is the scarf that she is wearing in the photo that will be auctioned on April 5th.

Andy Warhol found the Beales intriguing and he seemed to enjoy the element of surprise around them. In the Exposures he talks about Big Edies funeral and how the priest made a speech about Big Edie and in the end pushed a button to play the song “We Belong Together” in which Big Edie had recorded in her opera voice.

Don’t miss this opportunity to own this signed photograph by Andy Warhol that Little Edie was very proud of. Happy Bidding!
