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?

I think kids should go to high school until they're 30. No, really, because people are staying younger now and there's nothing to do. If you stayed longer, then it would be really great.
Andy Warhol
Image
The pop artists did images that anybody walking down Broadway could recognize in a split second — comics, picnic tables, men’s trousers, celebrities, shower curtains, refrigerators, Coke bottles. All the great modern things that the Abstract Expressionists tried not to notice at all.

All photography is Pop, and all photographers are crazy... they feel guilty since they don't have to do very much - just push a button.
Andy Warhol
Image
Exposure and attention make a work famous - the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.
Andy Warhol
Image
Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil - of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them and tape-record them. But I didn't think of myself as evil - just realistic.
Andy Warhol

You have to do stuff that average people don't understand because those are the only good things.
Andy Warhol
