Today we’ve got a super short version of the newsletter — just one highlight, but a good one: Andy Warhol and a yellow bovine with more attitude than a Marilyn — rarer, cheaper, and oddly… smarter. Since that’s all for now, I’m throwing in a playbook I shared on Instagram last week that got a lot of attention. It breaks down how to spot an artist before prices explode, using data, shows, and a bit of cash in hand. Back next time with the full format.

-Today’s Catch-

Andy Warhol

💭 My 2 Cents: Forget Marilyn or Campbell’s soup; here you've got a bright yellow bovine mocking art world elitism with classic Warhol cheekiness. At £30,000 for a signed and numbered print, it’s a delicious entry into the Warhol universe without selling a kidney. Cows aren't sexy like Liz Taylor portraits, yet this irreverence might be your ticket when the usual celebrity prints get overplayed.

🔑 Key Numbers: Warhol’s 1970s pieces average around $262K, but here you're getting in significantly lower, less than £30K. Plus, Warhol’s sell-through rate still sits comfortably above 90%, with 1971 pieces increasingly rare and typically punching above their weight at auctions (average hammer ratios floating around 1.73). Historically, market dips like 2023’s price drop (-64.9%) have always rebounded nicely, good news if you're eyeing future liquidity.

🧠 Why It’s a Smart Pick: It's affordable Warhol, plain and simple. The signed edition makes it rarer, the quirky subject makes it memorable, and the approachable price gives room to ride any potential uptick without massive downside. If you believe Warhol fatigue is real (and I do), quirky pieces like 'Cow' might just be your best hedge against it.
