Andrij Warhola was Rusyn Byzantine Catholic coal miner from Pittsburgh. His son invented pop art and painted the British-born daughter of Americans, who became a movie star. Phillips de Pury & Co. sold Andy Warhol’s “Liz #5” for $26.9 million. It was one of a series of 13 silkscreens of ink and acrylic on linen, which Warhol did when Liz got $1 million to play Cleopatra. An icon painted an icon, and the world misses them both terribly.
