Warhol's Rejected Trump Tower Painting Heads to Auction

The artwork, dismissed by Donald Trump in 1981, could sell for up to $700,000 at Phillips auction house.

Andy Warhol created a series of paintings of Trump Tower in 1981, which Donald Trump rejected for not matching the building's color scheme.
Warhol's 'New York Skyscrapers' series, featuring the Trump Tower, is now up for auction with an estimated value of $500,000 to $700,000.
The rejection of the paintings led to a lasting grudge from Warhol, who frequently expressed his disdain for the Trumps in his diaries.
Interest in the auction is split between collectors motivated by political sentiments and those interested in Warhol's work.
Speculation surrounds the auction, with some predicting the painting's value could rise following Trump's recent presidential election victory.
