i’m trying to decide if i like “pop art”
“What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.” … Andy Warhol
just saying, after what I saw this morning on the Today show…you should like pop art and buy it…especially Andy Warhol stuff cause they just ahd an auction in NYC and his orange Marilyn Monroe went for $16.3 million! so, I’m just sayin…..
I think I like the concept of it (making art out of things you see and use everyday), but in reality, I haven’t seen a lot of it that I like.
