When I suggested my Andy Warhol painting he asked "isn't Andy Jewish, not really Polish?" or at least that is what I thought he might have said so half way in jest I said, "everyone has a bit of Jewish in them, even Jane Seymour" but I googled this page to check it out. I like his works, admired his influences and certainly think he deserved to exhibit and get paid for his show at The Jewish Museum. It was very "progressive" and modern and smart and it was just as important as when he did Queen Elizabeth. He might be considered tacky by some but obviously his legacy lives on.

Warhol himself is an incredible artist who remains popular across the board. Warhol Paintings remain relevant and modern.

My apologies for the oversight. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.artknowledgenews.com/Warhols_Jews_Ten_Portraits_Reconsidered.html">Here's an article</a> that discusses that. And I agree, why not? Gaugin did it before him and Melamid after... it's nothing new. You’re totally right… the series did begin as a commission… My apologies for the oversight. Here’s an article that discusses that.

In his "business art" approach, collectors and investors would underwrite projects and editions this way. Asking why Warhol chose this subject, a. he was commissioned to, and b. why not?
