Early Warhol works sold by nephew for over $800,000

NEW YORK CITY: Two early Andy Warhol paintings were sold at auction in New York City on Tuesday by the family of the pop art visionary, the first in a series of little-known works that will reach the art market, his nephew told Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The 1948 self-portrait "Nosepicker 1: Why Pick on Me" went for $491,400, including fees, while "Living Room," also from 1948, sold for $315,000 at a sale organized by New York-based auction house Phillips.
