Specialist note

"There was a wonderful statement: The more you know about Andy, the less you have to know, but the more you have to see. And then you saw him all over the place.” (E. Sturtevant, quoted in, P. Eleey, Sturtevant, Double Trouble, exh. cat., Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2015, p. 127)
