Eight Elvises is a 1963 silkscreen painting by American pop artist Andy Warhol of Elvis Presley.[1]
On November 26, 2009, The Economist reported that the painting was sold by Italian collector Annibale Berlingieri to a private collector brokered by Philippe Ségalot, a French art consultant for $100 million, making it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold.[1] The report described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market."
