An ivory table linen with a woven Greek key border, depicting one large heart surrounded by a series of smaller hearts rendered in ink. Signed by Andy Warhol, and inscribed to Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal. The poignant origin of the artwork is recounted as follows, “Farrah and I were new lovers. We were at a dinner celebrating Andy's new book at the home of Lynn and Oscar Wyatt in Houston, Texas,” said Ryan O’Neal. “I had known the Wyatts, and Andy Warhol for over a decade and during the course of the dinner, Andy observed Farrah and I. He [Warhol] saw the love between us and it inspired him to draw... right there on our napkin. Two hearts joining as one." PROVENANCE From the Estate of Farrah Fawcett (Courtesy of the University of Texas) and the Collection of Ryan O’Neal. Framed, 24 by 24 inches Categories: Andy Warhol
