I don't like it. Every Warhol I've ever seen, forgeries, imprints, secretarial (like those ghost signed by his mother in the 50s/60s) was far more compact.

I've never seen one with this much spacing in the middle, and so much distance between the start and finish.

The character of his letters is subject to much variation, but one theme I've noted on pieces with strong provenance is that on those, his penmanship was sloppy with poorly formed letters, something you wouldn't expect from an artist.

I don't like this either.. Andy had a great signature and the start of Andy looks like it was signed in different directions. Usually his was uniformed.

I have a lot of signed items from him and will collate examples and post for comparison.

Thank you so much, i'll be happy to look at your examples for comparison, specially of the same period.

Better. Much more in the Warhol zone than the first one.
