Specialist note

"Some people felt Andy's abstract paintings were merely decorative and not important work, but I could not disagree more, especially when given a chance to really look at them. ...These are powerful paintings that cannot be ignored."
(V. Fremont, "Andy Warhol and Shadows," in Andy Warhol: Shadows, exh. cat., Honor Fraser, Los Angeles, 2016, p. 8).
