Tom Ford sold his “Self Portrait” in purple by Andy Warhol at auction this week, and it took in far more than the estimated 10 to 15 million. It went for a nice 32.6 million.
Ford, who sits on the board for Sothebys, hasn’t said why he sold the painting, although he was looking for financing for his upcoming womenswear line. It makes sense that the designer-slash-director would self-finance his own line, since he managed to do just that to make A Single Man, his directorial debut.
The artist supposedly created five self portraits in the series, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh has two — one yellow, one blue; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth has a green one; and Peter M. Brant, a newsprint magnate, has a red one.
Six people were bidding on the painting, with the final bid made by a third party buyer via telephone via Sotheby’s Paris.

Last year, Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), and NYC & Company banded together to bring us the very first Fashion’s Night Out on September 11. Fashon’s Night Out (FNO) was created and developed to celebrate fashion and boost the retail sector during the economic downturn. Although no one was terribly sure how the event would be received, it was proclaimed a resounding success the next day. There were so many activities going on in New York City that one just couldn’t make it to all of them, and believe me, I tried!
This year, FNO is back and most likely will be bigger than ever. The event is scheduled for September 10, 2010, and CBS will be on hand to record not only the event but what goes on behind the scenes from the designers to the sales staff who rely on fashion for their economic survival.
“While New York City is the epicenter of this event,” says CBS executive producer Susan Zirinsky, “cities all over the world took the baton last year and ran with it, and 2010 promises to be even bigger. The message is clear: Responsible spending can breathe new life into the economy, and that means jobs. Fashion’s Night Out is a self-styled stimulus package by the fashion industry that has ignited a global movement.”
