Manolo Valdes (b. 1942)

‘With respect to Pop, I think that I wouldn’t have been able to do a painting of a shoe or a perfume of that size or a huge face that takes up the whole canvas, it would have seemed...I might not have dared to take that risk, what madness! But Pop has taught me that yes, you can do a huge face and that it works. Here there are a lot of things that I owe to Pop.’
Manolo Valdés 1996.
