Zitat des Tages über Pop-Art / Pop Art:
We're a pop art band. Not a pop band.
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
The novel is always pop art, and the novel is always dying. That's the only way it stays alive. It does really die. I've been thinking about that a lot.
Take an exhibit, in the days when we saw the Pop art - Andy Warhol and all that - tomato soup cans, etc., and coming home, you saw everything like A. Warhol.
There's a famous artist, Ron English, in New York, that just, or Andy Warhol for that matter, that did pop art that terrorized society. And that's, for the last like 10, 15 years, that's all I wanted to do, is terrorize society and make them look into a mirror and see what the hell we have wrought.
I don't mean this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I don't really think of pop art and serious art as being that far apart.
I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity.
Andy Warhol defined Pop Art.
Damien Hirst is the Elvis of the English art world, its ayatollah, deliverer, and big-thinking entrepreneurial potty-mouthed prophet and front man. Hirst synthesizes punk, Pop Art, Jeff Koons, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Bacon, and Catholicism.
I collect candy packaging from around the world and believe it has the value of Pop Art.
I find pop art really offensive because it's taking a piece of popular culture and putting it somewhere where people can't see it.
Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.
The Pop art I wound up doing came to me purely from 'Mad' comics. I loved the idea of doing fun stuff. I met an art dealer who wanted to show the work - that was in January 1962 - and that was the beginning for me.
I'm the one who gave steroids to Pop art.
