I hope they stole the last remaining copy of Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein.

Oh my god, they stole a wormhole. The Black Lives Matter folks can gate in now, at any time! I am concerned, to say the least.

No big deal. Go rip some labels off some soup cans and paste them onto a piece of poster board. Good as new.

Hey are any of the other 25 people that saw MIB 3 on FR? Do recall the parody they did of Warhol and his fans? I thought it was spot on.

Weird thing I saw Warhol paintings in books or wherever and they don’t really look impressive.

I saw one at a museum.

Totally different. It actually was impressive.

Nah! Cleaning people probably thought they were drop cloths left behind by workmen.

Having seen them in person and in books, I remain unimpressed. Only because he was in the “in” group, was this stuff even marketable. Had he been a heterosexual from a Kansas instead of a whatever from the Coasts, no one would have ever looked at this stuff, much less gone ga-ga over it.

Of course, that is just my opinion. (But in art, I guess that is really what is important, anyway, as is yours.)
