Interview with the artist—August issue

The Undercurrent: Tell us a bit about the cover.
Nicholas Nocketback: Well, that particular piece is titled “A Year in North Korea”. I lived in South Korea for a year with a friend who was originally stationed there by the US Army but chose to live there permanently once he was discharged. It’s quite magical, really. But I was trying to show how the West’s perspective of a country can ultimately pollute the minds of those that are influenced by the so called authority figures in life.

TU: What got you started in art?

Liz is a classic example of Warhol's work.

An Andy Warhol painting of actress Dame Elizabeth Taylor has been sold for $23.7m (£11.4m) at a New York auction.
An anonymous bidder bought the 1963 portrait, called Liz, which had been expected to fetch more than $25m (£11.9m) at Christie's.

The auction house refused to confirm reports that it was British actor Hugh Grant who sold the portrait after he bought it in 2001 for $15m (£7.2m).

Warhol created 12 portraits of the actress as she recovered from illness.
