MAKING A STATEMENT

«Naturally Warhol always fervently denied that his work expressed or meant anything at all. Most of all he despised irony:"If you want to know all about Andy Warhol he said «just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me and there I am. There's nothing behind it». Many have taken at his world without realizing that he was telling them that lack of importance was precisely what was most important about his own work. His statement was that he didn't consider himself to be making one».
