«I LIKE TO WORK WHEN I'M NOT WORKING»

«This dramatic image of the artist in turmoil was the exact opposite of how Warhol represented himself in his art and his elaborately manufactured personal posture. Andy Warhol wanted to be happy. « Success a job in New York». Warhol didn't consider himself a shaman or a mystic. He was an artist, but also a worker, a businessman and a fan. He was an artist who recorded the world around him. Warhol, although he was interested in flamboyant personalities, didn't see self-destruction as a creative process. He wasn't looking for mystical illumination, bu a good idea and hard work»
