Kim and Kanye Rumors & News Update: West Hires Warhol for Kardashian Portrait?
Kanye West will surely give everything for the love of his life if it's true that he is willing to pay for a painting of his soon to be wife Kim Kardashian by the cousin of the great Andy Warhol.
The cousin named as Monica Warhol, is an artist who resides in Tucson, Arizona according to Fox News. The artist herself said that the Kardashian beauty is beautiful and can be compared to a "human Barbie."
According to the Independent UK, rapper Kanye West paid somewhere around $30,000 or more to have the portrait of her fiancé painted. The article mentioned that Monica has closely studied the painting style of her late cousin who passed away way back in 1987 when she was just 10 then.
Who is Monica Warhol?
Monica Warhol creates her silk-screen works from photos. She even admitted that it was just last year when she got to own a book about her cousin. She emphasized though that the similarities in their style is not something that she does on a conscious note. If there's a difference between the two artists is that Andy is known for hiring extra people to delegate work while Monica does everything on her own.
She mentioned to E!Online that it is a "special gift" for her to be able to paint various icons of modern pop culture. "I am picking up where Andy left off, and Kim is the perfect addition to the Warhol legacy," she added.
Other icons that Monica has done portraits for include rapper Flo Rida and Lenny Kravitz.
Monica has six children.
No Truth To The Warhol Painting News?
Above all these, a more recent article by E! Online was released stating that the Warhol painting news is not at all true, according to a close source.
Whatever is the truth, one thing is for sure. Kanye's got a big heart for the beautiful Kim Kardashian to even propose in the huge AT&T park in San Francisco.
