Sorry, it is a French word, and I've heard it in English, but possibly
from people familiar with French.
In the article linked by Godfrey, (2) and (6) are the primary
attributes of "epatage" behavior applicable to Warhol.

PS. I'm glad I inadvertently provoked your curiosity. ;-)

It's an unusual word in the English language.

What is "epatage"?
It's a new word for me, and it's not in any of the online dictionaries I
use.

Godfrey, that's an interesting idea and a excellent implementation!
And I clearly see the reference.
But sorry, Warhol's art doesn't touch me, even though I give him a
credit for his non-traditional ideas (heavily mixed with epatage).
As for Warhol, I am reminded of this episode from 1966:
When one reporter, irritated that Warhol had calmly agreed that his
works weren't original, asked: "Well, isn't this sort of a joke then
that you're playing on the public?" Warhol replied: "No. It gives me
something to do."
(Just in case, a disclaimer: no implication on you, Godfrey.)
