Warhol shook things up in an interesting way, but I don't like
anything he actually produced.

Actually, there's a bunch of 20th century artists who I like
for how they influenced things, but not much for their own work.
(Marcel Duchamp (aside from the obvious couple of paintings)
and Moholy-Nagy are the best examples of that.)

Yeah, me too. But I'm thinking more of Madonna owning a Kahlo painting.
Private ownership of *significant* pieces is a little weird.

Aren't there some legalities regarding "historic artifacts" in the US?
I think its definition of "historic" is extremely narrow. Same issue
though.
