Specialist note

"I looked around the studio and it was all Marilyn and disasters and death. I said, 'Andy, maybe it's enough death now.' He said, 'What do you mean?' I said, 'Well, how about this?' I opened a magazine to four flowers."
(H. Geldzahler, quoted in M. Lobel, "In Transition: Warhol's Flowers," in Andy Warhol Flowers, exh. cat., Eykyn Maclean, New York, 2012).
