Andy Warhol painting commissioned by Donald Trump sells for nearly $1 million

An Andy Warhol painting titled "New York Skyscrapers," commissioned by Donald Trump in 1981, has been sold at auction for nearly $1 million. Trump rejected the artwork at the time, unhappy with its color scheme. The painting was part of a series Warhol created for Trump Tower, which Trump did not pay for. The recent auction price exceeded expectations by over $250,000, indicating a significant change in the painting's perceived value. Previously held by a Swiss gallerist, this is the first time the painting has been auctioned. Two other works from the series are now part of the Andy Warhol Museum's permanent collection.
