Le lot 33 est un prototype unique et original de Andy Warhol and members of The Factory, New York, October 9, 1969.
The present lot is the original, unique prototype of Andy Warhol and members of The Factory, New York, October 9, 1969.
It's just strange to me that anyone would ever think that a work of art shouldn't be disturbing, or shouldn't be invasive. I mean, that's the property of a work of art. That's the arena of a work of art. It's to disturb, it's to make you think, it's to make you feel. If my work didn't disturb from time to time it would be a failure in my own eyes. It's meant to disturb, in a positive way.
