Quote

Sometimes something can look beautiful just because it's different in some way from the other things around it. One red petunia in a window box will look very beautiful if all the rest of them are white, and vice-versa.

I think every painting should be the same size and the same color so they're all interchangeable and nobody thinks they have a better painting or a worse painting.... Besides even when the subject is different, people want the same painting.
Andy Warhol
Image
You have to hang on in periods when your style isn't popular, because if it's good, it'll come back, and you'll be a recognized beauty once again.
Andy Warhol
Image
The wide multitude wanted to seem contrarian. It meant that this type of nonconformism had to be mass-produced.
Andy Warhol
Image
I like to work when I'm not working - do something that may not be considered work, but to me it's work. Getting exercise by going to the grocery store.
Andy Warhol

If you're traveling for five years or something like that, you're going somewhere. But five years are being used up, and you don't have to do anything. You just sit on the plane. That might make time go really fast.

...after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy. After you stop wanting them is when you can handle having them. Or before. But never during. If you get things when you really want them, you go crazy. Everything becomes distorted when something you really want is sitting in your lap.
Andy Warhol

I will go to the Opening of Anything, including a Toilet Seat
Andy Warhol
Image
You meet rich people and you hang around with them, and one night they've had a few drinks and they say 'I'll buy it!' Then they tell their friends, 'You must have this person's work, darling,' and that's all you need. That's all it takes. Get it?

Beauty is a sign of intelligence.

I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
Andy Warhol
Image
Don't think about making art.
Andy Warhol
Image
Human beings are born solitary, but everywhere they are in chains - daisy chains - of interactivity. Social actions are makeshift forms, often courageous, sometimes ridiculous, always strange. And in a way, every social action is a negotiation, a compromise between 'his,' 'her' or 'their' wish and yours.
Andy Warhol

But I always say, one's company, two's a crowd, and three's a party
Andy Warhol
Image
As soon as you stop wanting something you get it. I've found that to be absolutely axiomatic.
Andy Warhol
Image
Living in New York City gives people real incentives to want things that nobody else wants.

The idea of America is so wonderful because the more equal something is, the more American it is
