If it was a regular old portrait in oils by someone who wasn't famous, this wouldn't be happening. But ooooh, it's a WARHOL, so everyone's backing into their corners.
There are a few things here that may surprise: 1. Ryan O'Neal was friends with Andy Warhol, and 2. Farrah had an art collection. As for the picture itself, it's probably the usual Warhol - a picture projected on a canvas and traced, or something like that. Googling for the image . . . ah. Yes, that's what he did. This is worth $30 million? Yes.
But how did the U of T learn about the painting? Let's let television tell the rest of the story.
One of his most famous works? Really? Note how O'Neal seems to be heading straight towards Shatnerhood in the grumpy-old-neck department.
