Note du spécialiste

'You don't often hear about Andy being called an appropriation artist, but he was I remarked that Andy's soup cans are an appropriation, he just wasn't appropriating an old master, he was appropriating a commercial artist' (R. Pettibone, interviewed by I. Barry in Richard Pettibone: A Retrospective, Philadelphia 2005).
