專家說明

"This is what the Flowers represented, in nascent form. They marked Warhol's pivot away from Pop, and thus from brand names and celebrity portraits... As we've seen, this move involved generalizing the image, obscuring not just its photographic source but also the specific type of blossoms on offer, in order to prepare it for Warhol's distinctive stamp. Fame, which had long been one of the primary subjects of his work, was now also one of its effects. Warhol's status as an artistic brand had been secured." (M. Lobel, Andy Warhol: Flowers, exh. cat., New York, 2012, n.p.)
