Tunafish Correction

November 11, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Lindsay Pollock reports that Peter Brant is not the consignor of the Warhol Tunafish Disaster painting that was a, well, disaster on auction block last night:

Another major flop was Warhol’s 1963 “Tunafish Disaster,” estimated to fetch up to $8 million, which also received no bids. “Tunafish Disaster” was consigned to Christie’s by dealer Robert Mnuchin of L & M Arts, who got the painting from Brant, according to the tycoon.
