An original digital Warhol, previously unseen, would probably be worth millions if one can prove the authorship.

It’s not a collectible but a unique artwork. A Warhol painting just sold for over $35M this month, and smaller ones go for mid-seven digits. A digital piece can’t be hung on the wall, but it’s much more rare.

Inspecting the software on the disk, as well as slack space for any potentially deleted files, can help a lot towards proving authenticity in a practical way, depending on potential chronology. Warhol used prerelease versions of the software involved at one point (Kickstart rev 26.7, and at that point I believe it was CLI-only if the later Kickstart rev 27.5 is any indication).

At the very least, send Cloanto copies of Warhol disks for documentation on their ROM page.
