Love is something you fall into.

Barbara Kruger

Warhol’s images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn’t think about him a hell of a lot.

It entered the visual vocabulary of photographers, painters and sculptors and focused on what pictures and words look like and what they can mean.
