GUEST: Well, I do know that it is from a somewhat known artist by the name of Mr. Andy Warhol.
APPRAISER: Right on.
GUEST: Um, it was a gift given to me by a former boyfriend. Obviously, he had good taste. And, um, I got it for a birthday present. And, uh... He knows that I'm a big Warhol fan, so, um... Yeah.
APPRAISER: How long have you had it?
GUEST: I've had this since about 2002.
APPRAISER: Okay.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: Did you than Andy Warhol was a filmmaker, too?
GUEST: I did.
APPRAISER: So 1966, he makes what's then his best-known movie, called "Chelsea Girls."
GUEST: Yup.
APPRAISER: And it's a very avant-garde New York film about women, his Factory stars, living in the Chelsea Hotel on 23rd Street in New York. And it was a big hit for him. He hadn't really had a movie hit, and he wanted to get into the movie industry. While he was known at that time as a visual artist for his paintings and printmaking...
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: He hadn't yet become very known for, for making films. But "Chelsea Girls" got him the prestige that he wanted in the film business.
GUEST: Right.
APPRAISER: Fast-forward to 1982, and in New York, they're putting together a museum called the Anthology Film Archives.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And Warhol is asked to contribute a print to a portfolio.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: To fund the building of this museum dedicated to avant-garde filmmaking. So he chooses an image from "Chelsea Girls."
GUEST: Ah, okay, yeah.
APPRAISER: This is Eric Emerson.
GUEST: Eric Emerson, yeah.
APPRAISER: Who was in the movie.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: It's a color screen print from 1982.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: And he signed in pencil on the lower right. It's edition of 75. You can see down there. Nice gift. (laughing)
GUEST: It's a very nice gift, yes. (laughing)
APPRAISER: Have you ever had it evaluated?
GUEST: I never have. I mean, I think I tried to Google it, and I couldn't really get very far. I've seen this image before, but I hadn't seen anything with an autograph, so I don't know-- I have no idea what...
APPRAISER: Yeah.
GUEST: I have no idea what the value is.
APPRAISER: At auction in this shape, I'd put this at $8,000 to $12,000, so...
GUEST: (laughing) Are you serious?
APPRAISER: It's a nice one.
GUEST: $8,000?
APPRAISER: Yeah, yeah.
GUEST: Oh, my God.
APPRAISER: You got to get your ex-boyfriend on the phone and thank him for this one. (laughs)
GUEST: (laughing): Oh, my gosh! Wow! Wow! Thank you.
APPRAISER: Yup.
GUEST: Wow. I-- wow, I didn't know that.
APPRAISER: It's a great image.
