Alice Cooper has discovered an Andy Warhol artwork, more than 40 years after it was given to him as a gift. 

The rock musician had forgotten about the work, which was being kept in storage, until it was found “rolled up in a tube” in a locker along with a collection of 1970s stage props. 

‘Little Electric Chair’ – a silkscreen from Warhol’s Death and Disaster series – was presented to Cooper as a gift by his late girlfriend Cindy Lang, after they were introduced to the artist and spent time with him in New York’s famed Studio 54. 

 A similar version of the artwork was sold in 2014 at Christie’s for $10.5 million (£8m).
