Warhol-isms

A unique collection of brilliant quotations from the legendary Pop artist

One of the most influential artists of his time and ours, Andy Warhol is nearly as renowned for what he said as for what he did. Indeed, he is so quotable that things he never said are endlessly and plausibly attributed to him, including, fittingly, the most celebrated fake Warhol saying-"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Warhol-isms separates legend from fact to present a unique and comprehensive collection of authentic quotations from the Pop artist. Gathered from interviews and other primary sources, these deadpan, droll, ironic, and sincere gems-in which a superficial embrace of superficiality often disguises provocative, unconventional ideas-provide compelling insights into the life and work of an artist who has left an indelible mark on art and popular culture.

Select quotations from the book:

I went to [a psychiatrist] once, and he never called me back.

They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

I've never met a person I couldn't call a beauty.

New things are always better than old things.

I'm still a commercial artist. I was always a commercial artist.

O colectie unica de citate geniale de la legendarul artist pop Unul dintre cei mai influenti artisti ai timpului sau si al nostru, Andy Warhol este aproape la fel de renumit pentru ceea ce a spus si pentru ceea ce a facut. Intr-adevar, el este atat de citabil incat lucrurile pe care nu le-a spus niciodata ii sunt atribuite la nesfarsit si plauzibil, inclusiv, in mod potrivit, cea mai celebrata zicala falsa a Warhol: ,,In viitor, toata lumea va fi celebra in lume timp de 15 minute". Warhol-isms separa legenda de fapt pentru a prezenta o colectie unica si cuprinzatoare de citate autentice ale artistului pop.
