Re: Andy Warhol

What constantly amazes me, is that people fail to see that Duchamp (and even Warhol, at times) were CRITIQUING the institution of art.</p>
Hence all the literal appropriations and endless repetitions.....It's amazing how influencial Duchamp has been, especially in America. The piss-pot is just that, but I'm afraid it's going to wind up being the work of art that this generation deserves. [:(]</p>
Completely agree with you about art critics--it's so much worse than academic writing. Talk about style over substance! I've got to read that Hughes book. </p>
