Konrad, who has become a reputed Astrophysicist, tries to take advantage of scientific congresses outside Eastern Germany to arrange encounters with Sophie. But in a country where the political police, the Stasi, monitors the moves of all suspicious people (such as Konrad's sister Barbara and her husband Harald), preserving one's privacy, ideals and self-respect becomes an exhausting fight, even as the Eastern block begins its long process of disintegration.

• 23.5 million

Andy’s Stats• March 25, 2011• An Andy Warhol portrait of Elizabeth Taylor is heading to the

auction block in New York, where it's estimated to fetch at least $20 million.

• The 1963 silkscreen, titled "Liz #5," is owned by hedge-fund manager Steven Cohen, the Wall Street Journal reports. It will be sold at Phillips de Pury on May 12 during its contemporary art sale.

• Taylor died on Wednesday at age 79.• The portrait shows the legendary actress smiling and her

eyelids covered in blue eye shadow. It comes from Warhol's 1960s series of pop culture icons like Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

• "Liz #5 is a pristine gem," Michael McGinnis, head of contemporary art at Phillips de Pury, said in a statement. "It is Warhol at his very best with a perfect screen, glowing colors, and impeccable provenance. She is classic yet every bit as cutting edge as she was when Warhol painted her nearly 50 years ago."

• The Journal says Cohen bought the portrait for an undisclosed sum from the estate of a major New York dealer. He declined to comment.

• The current Warhol auction record is $71.7 million for "Green Car Crash."

• July 10, 2002• Pop artist Andy Warhol will be remembered on a U.S.

postage stamp next month.

Famed for his portraits of Marilyn Monroe and paintings of Campbell's soup cans, Warhol's career also included ventures in design, photography, film, television, writing and publishing.

The commemorative stamp will be issued at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh on Aug. 9.

Warhol, who died Feb. 22, 1987, in New York City, has remained famous far longer than the 15 minutes he once predicted for everyone.

The 37-cent stamp features his 1964 self-portrait, which is now in the collection of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, where he was born.
