When Bob Dylan Traded an Andy Warhol Painting for a Couch

<p>In 1966, Bob Dylan left Andy Warhol&#39;s Factory with a silver Elvis painting tied to the roof of his car, then traded it for a couch. This episode follows that Double Elvis through the Factory, the supposed Dylan–Warhol rivalry, Edie Sedgwick, and a much stranger truth, all the way to its home at MoMA and a $27 million auction that proves Dylan should&#39;ve kept it. A story about myth, fame, and what we decide is worth keeping.</p><p><strong>Buy Me a Coffee:</strong> <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/versopod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/versopod⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Me on TikTok</strong>: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@versopod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠https://tiktok.com/@versopod⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Email me</strong>: hello@versopod.com</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Suggested Further Reading</strong></p><ul><li>Blake Gopnik, <em>Warhol: A Life as Art</em> (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2020)</li><li>Jean Stein and George Plimpton, <em>Edie: An American Biography</em> (Knopf, 1982)</li><li>Howard Sounes, <em>Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan</em> (Grove Press, 2001).</li></ul>
