Default How Andy Warhol Bartered a Painting for a TV & a Vacuum Cleaner

Thanks Gordon,

I've got this goofy friend in Philadelphia.

He's a Head hunter for giant corporations.

He sent me a page full of silly links.

Link #1 - A CrowdFunding link by some Dutch artist who wants me
to send him munny for a solar Cell phone charger he and a partner have
invented.

His previous Kickstarter invention was a Solar Lite
that looks like a Sunflower.

YUCK.

Pass.

Link #2 - Is this Artist Barter site. Real Barter stories.

30 or 40 of them.

MY FAVORITE.

Apparently Andy Warhol - ran an ad in 1963 saying, "I will trade Art for Anything."

One man called up.

Traded a Big Screen TV and a Vacuum Cleaner
for a Andy Warhol Painting.

Cool Barter story.

IF that man held onto his Andy Warhol Original Painting
HE GOT The Best of the Barter Deal.

By far.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Here is the site with 30 more odd - Artist based Barter stories.
