Grossing upward of $70,000 a year (equivalent to more than $600,000 today), Warhol was wealthy.13 In 1957, he formed Andy Warhol Enterprises, Inc. to manage his employees (he began hiring assistants in 1955 to accommodate multiple commissions), consolidate his diverse creative ventures (which included publishing and filmmaking), and protect himself from liability. He “embarked on a collecting odyssey” and bought everything from American folk art and Art Deco furniture to designer jewelry, vintage Fiesta ware, Navajo textiles, cookie jars, and wristwatches.14 He attended gallery and museum openings, familiarized himself with art world movers and shakers, and collected prints by Picasso, Miró, and Jasper Johns, and paintings by Grace Hartigan, Yves Klein, Larry Rivers, Frank Stella, and Pavel Tchelitchew. In 1960, he moved into a five-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. His mother, who had lived with him since 1952 (his father died in 1942), built a “nice little altar” in the basement where they prayed together before he went to work.15
