After studying Pop Art with Wayne Thiebaud, I moved my
studio from Davis, California to Bushwick in New York City. I began a dialog
with the work of Andy Warhol. In California I had read in the
New York Times that Mr. Warhol’s ocean side estate at Montauk, east of New
York City was recently sold, so I made a point of driving out to get a feel
for the place. Fifty years ago, Andy was a
very busy guy in NYC. He was art famous. He was mass producing contemporary
art using images he found in the media. He hired a staff to produce his art
while he created his life as an ArtStar. Andy found his ocean estate
wasn’t as glamorous as NYC and was not on his social calendar much. I took a
look around his estate and began painting Andy ‘communications’ thinking he
would have liked that. . DEAR ANDY 2010 Page 1 Page 2 Dear Andy 2009 Postcards to Andy Warhol 2007-08 Painting Over an Andy Warhol 2006 |
