Warhol painting bought for £3 at jumble sale Andy Fields, from Tiverton, Devon, claims to have snapped up the 1930s sketch in Las Vegas, where it was hidden among a pile of artwork. The father-of-one said he had no immediate plans to sell it and was not interested in financial gain, but now hopes to put the picture on display for others to enjoy. The pictures, on discoloured, tattered paper, shows a man's face, believed to be 1930s singer and actor Rudy Vallee, sketched on a background of yellow, orange and green squares. Mr Fields told the Sun it is an "incredibly important work" and proved Andy Warhol had begun his Pop Art work earlier than previously thought. He said: "It moves the birth of Pop Art back two decades, showing Warhol was already doing that sort of stuff at a far younger age." He added he had spent weeks trying to find the man who sold it to him to find out more about the background, but he had "vanished." One Warhol piece, "Eight Elvises" sold for £62.5m in 1963, while his Elizabeth Taylor portrait has fetched £14.8m.
