Now certainly Warhol is not the only commentator
on the world of pop culture. Neither is it the only theme ever expressed
in his work. However, I believe it has been the greatest theme of
his work, and he has certainly been the most heard commentator on pop culture.
It is for the insights of his work that he got noticed. And it is
due to his work that he became deeply involved in the darker circle of
celebrity that moved in to replace the pop world of glamour Hollywood.
Through his commentary on pop culture, he became pop culture. And
that is why Andy Warhol has achieved so much notoriety; he and his concepts
are deeply entwined with the very fabric of modern pop culture with which
we interact every day.
