It’s time for my weekly Tweek! You can follow me directly on Twitter @vsgreaves — or use the Twitter icon above right above the menu.

Why is everyone surprised that Warhol or Farrah gave Ryan a painting of Farrah? And I find it confusing that the university that was bequeathed Farrah’s collection assumed that this particular piece should have been included. I suppose we are talking about a Warhol:
