In the Forbes article from last fall, dead celebrities like Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger and Charles M. Schultz seem to still be earning quite nice pay checks, well their estates at least. What is even more interesting is that Andy Warhol is the Number 8 top earning dead celebrity and Marilyn Monroe is Number 9. Monroe is the iconic image that Warhol used for a set of ten screenprints that just sold at Sotheby’s for over a $1,000,000.

The DeVorzon Gallery will continue to provide unauthorized editions of these Warhol prints, by Sunday B. Morning. These prints are found in Andy Warhol’s Catalogue Raisonne, which of course adds to their value and sustainability in the art market. Warhol’s works are said to have the most resilience in financial value and will only continue to be in demand for years to come. With original Warhol prices soaring, the Sunday B. Morning editions, which are printed from the same screen’s as the Warhol originals, are a great alternative because they still have a touch of Andy.
