Dylan visited Andy Warhol at the Factory and did screen tests for Warhol’s crazy little movies.
The pair didn’t get along too well, but Dylan did wind up with a Warhol screen print called "Double Elvis." Warhol — who charged everyone for everything — wanted to impress Dylan so he gave it to him for free.....And here’s the rub: when Dylan got the picture home he hated it. So what did his Bobness go and do.... he swoped it for a couch [ouch] with his manager Albert Grossman. In 1988, the year Warhol died, Sally Grossman, Albert’s widow, sold the painting for $720,000.
