We have some amazing art and technology news courtesy of The Silicon Underground relating to some Amiga PC art produced by artist Andy Warhol in 1985 that was finally recovered and rediscovered this year.

Shoutout to equarep once again for bringing this to my attention. The writer goes into great detail in the article, along with providing photos of the artwork in question. I'm typing all of this from my phone, so my apologies for not having a copy-and-paste version of the article here.

Thing is, most people here don't care for the Commodore Amiga, so it might not get put there, though considering this is Andy Warhol we're talking about...

That’s some wild news! Andy Warhol and Amiga PCs? Never thought I’d see those two in the same sentence. It’s crazy to think that some of his digital art was just sitting there in digital limbo since 1985, and only now are we getting to see it. I mean, Andy Warhol’s style was already ahead of his time, so seeing how he experimented with early computer graphics must be a trip.Big thanks to equarep for the heads-up. Can’t wait to check out the photos and see how this all went down. If anyone’s got more details or a link to the article, drop it here!I adore Andy Warhol, he is one of my main idols.

well, not much has happened since this announcement, the 3 already available images from this collection are still online yet the others 7 that are said to have been done by Warhol are still not being published online. Tho an auction has started for the Bruette print of the artwork, the floppy signed by Warhol that contains the other 7 images, photographs of the Amiga launch event, another floppy containing 8 extra other images done by Warhol, a test file created by Warhol for MTV, the Amiga 1000 used by Andy and other miscellanous things with the modest and simple initial price of 26 million dollars (I love art and Warhol too but i hate the predatory landscape of art business too ngl)
