banANDY WARHOLna

There's an Andy Warhol exhibit at The Wexner Center for the Arts next week.  I've never been a huge fan of Andy Warhol.  Really, I don't like anything visual that requires an artist statement to appreciate it.

 But I can say two really good things about Warhol.  

1.  You can't destroy the integrity of his work by putting it on a shirt, or using it for an advertisement.  His stuff is almost making fun of you for liking it in the first place.  So, like a velvet portrait of Elvis, the more this terrible junk is dispersed, the more popular it becomes.  2.  He's probably the only reason I know about the Velvet Underground.
