Andy Warhol is one of the most famous artists and celebrity figures of the twentieth century. Most of us, whether we like his art or not, would probably jump at the chance to get one of his originals for $100. And I’ll tell you how:
It’s stacking coffee mugs! Surprise! This set of six mugs stack together to reproduce Warhol’s famous, original image of the Empire State Building, from thee 1964 film Empire. For those of you not familiar, or who can’t guess, the film is an eight hour still shot of the building, and that’s it*.
So sorry for the trickery, but still, don’t you think these mugs were worth it? No? Okay, gotta go then.

*Except for the end, where Warhol fights off aliens to protect the ESB. It totally rocks, and if you ever have a chance, watch it all the way through to the end. I promise that scene is definitely there.
