Note du spécialiste

'I like money on the wall... say you were going to buy a... painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall. Then we someone visited you, the first thing they would see is the money on the wall'

(A. Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again, New York 1975, p. 134).
