«I LIKE BORING THINGS»

Warhol is still interesting, and immensely influential: largely responsible, for good or ill, for Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst and Lady Gaga. He was a visionary who saw a new age coming over the horizon, the age of celebrity. But to call him America’s Picasso, as some of Appleyard’s witnesses do, is astonishing. Picasso had more ideas than Warhol had cans of soup. Warhol had one idea, and used it again and again.
