Forty are better than one. Edition Schellmann, 1969-2009, ed. by Jörg Schellmann, p. 345, Warhol, cat. no. 14 (fig., presumably different copy). "The other day a company wanted to buy my aura. These people did not want a "product" from me, but said: >>We want your aura.<<. I didn"t get what they really wanted. But they were willing to pay a lot for it. So I thought, if someone wants to pay that much money for something, I should take the trouble to find out what it could be." Andy Warhol, quoted from: Andy Warhol. Die Philosophie des Andy Warhol von A nach B und zurück, Munich 1991, p. 73.
