It was reported this week that at least eleven paintings by Andy Warhol were stolen from businessman Richard Weisman’s Los Angeles dining room, which makes me think:
1. This must be some honkin’-huge dining space to be able to accommodate eleven Warhols. After all, he was not known for his diminutive works.
2. Weisman and/or his interior designer do not understand the concept of editing.
3. I could never in a million years comfortably digest any meal eaten in a room where O.J. Simpson was staring at me. Could you?

Would love to see the whole room with
artwork. But, yeah, that artwork can
stay stolen!
