Ron Rivlin said he had lost about 30 works by Andy Warhol — and dozens more by other artists — when his Pacific Palisades home was destroyed.

    Should have kept them in a secure location - like a museum.

        I believe the conspiracy that those people work for oil companies with the goal to make all activists look bad

            I think the actual nutters are the ones vandalizing priceless landmarks and actually turning the general population against climate activism.

        I vehemently do no agree that art is only valuable because of it’s monetary worth. I pity you if that’s the only value you see.

            You’re just wrong bro lol.

            Artists make WAY more art “for free” than they do for monetary gain. I absolutely pity the fact that your concept of human expression is so tied to societies weird dependency on “value” and the institution of money.

    Yes, I will store the expensive paintings in a house made of toothpicks and cardboard with a tar roof in a state known to have widespread fires every year. It is a good idea.

      Wouldn’t he have to prove ownership? Most likely he lost that too.

        people with significant money in art assets have it documented and insured. if he had 30 pieces just by warhols and additional, we’re likely talking millions of dollars of assets.

        nobody leaves millions of dollars lying around without some sort of insurance

        to be honest, this is a great opportunity for him to cash out of all his expensive art in one fell swoop. i would be elated if I were him

    Knowing what little I know about the fine art market, he can probably have the ashes authenticated and sold for a profit.

      On insurance company, my millions of dollars in art work burned up. Money please. No it’s not possible to verify if I just stuck them in a storage unit somewhere or not.
