Investment

In 1962 Andy Warhol made "200 One Dollar Bills" - part of a seminal series of silk screened canvases.
On 11 November it's up for auction at Sotheby's. The collector who's selling it paid, in 1986, the record price of $385,000 - now it's expected to fetch $8m-$12m. Not bad, for an artist who started as a commercial illustator.
