Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again (Harbrace Paperbound Library ; Hpl 75)

Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again (Harbrace Paperbound Library ; Hpl 75): "Andy's response to an excess of abstract art was Pop Art.

Andy's response to an excess of abstract philosophy was Pop Philosophy.

This book is not so much about Andy Warhol as it is about Warhol making philosophy pop. To make philosophy pop, Andy shared his observations and values, just as to make art pop, Andy shared the Campbell soup he enjoyed so often.

Philosophy has been abstract for so long, we had forgotten it could be anything else. It had belonged to academicians for so long, we had forgotten it could belong to anyone else."
