Ciccone Youth
 

I saw this is coming up for auction....
I wonder if Kim was aware of this piece when doing the 'Burnin' Up' sleeve.

wow that's costly!

exaggerated...

remember when Sean Penn tied Madonna to a chair, beat her, left her alone for hours, came back drunker than before, and beat and burned her even more?

Fuck Sean Penn.

Kim: "We had access to [a] print of Warhol's wedding present to Sean & Madonna. We changed the picture so our source wouldn't get in trouble"

Chris Lawrence to the rescue again!

Bob Bert worked in Warhol's studio, my understanding is he did a lot of the actual silkscreening. I'm sure he wasn't the only one.

Statute of limitations on pilfered Warhol image (itself pilfered form tabloid) has hopefully long run out?

I wonder what Bob Bert's Ciccone Youth alias would have been?
