More quotes by Andy Warhol

Image
My idea of a good picture is one that's in focus and of a famous person. People are only glamorous if you don't see them. Like the movies used to make people years ago. There is something about people on screen that makes them so special when you see them in person, they are so different and the whole illusion is gone.
Andy Warhol
Image
I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
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.

Andy Warhol

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
I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
Image
So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.
Andy Warhol
Image
The most beautiful thing in Tokyo is McDonald's. The most beautiful thing in Stockholm is McDonald's. The most beautiful thing in Florence is McDonald's. Peking and Moscow don't have anything beautiful yet.
Andy Warhol
Image
Everybody has a different idea of love. One girl I know said, I knew he loved me when de didn't come in my mouth.
Andy Warhol
Image
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
Andy Warhol
Image
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.
Andy Warhol
Image
I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.

Success is what sells.

Think rich, look poor.

I thought that young people had more problems than old people...Then I looked around and saw that everybody who looked young had young problems and that everybody who looked old had old problems.
