Specialist note

"I love soup, and I love it when other people love soup, too… You know, when I was little, my mother always used to feed us this kind of soup. But now she’s gone, and sometimes when I have soup I remember her and I feel like she’s right here with me again." (A. Warhol, quoted in D. Bourdon, Warhol, New York 1989, p. 99).
