Watch: US art group seeks to 'destroy' Warhol work by mixing it with 999 copies


By AGENCY

The New York art collective that brought us Satan Shoes with an apparent drop of human blood in the midsole is at it again, this time selling 1,000 copies of an Andy Warhol drawing at the same price, only one of which is the original.

On a website called the Museum of Forgeries, the group known as MSCHF says it bought a 1954 ballpoint pen sketch by the pop art master called Fairies, which it says is worth US$20,000 (RM83,000) made 999 exact copies of it and mixed the original in with them.
