I read Duchamp and Warhol as more related than it may initially seem. Just as Duchamp's work served as a critique of the art establishment by arguing that an object need only be interpreted as art to become art, Warhol's work can be read to comment on/lessen the divide between the regular world and the art world though the appropriation of symbols, celebrity and processes that were heretofore seen as
non-artful. Both urged us toward reconsidering what we consider art and how we define the world around us. Duchamp challenged the power of the art establishment to create culture while Warhol furthered this by challenging the conventions that separated art from everything else.

Thus my initial comment.

Artists must be crazy, attempting to make us reconsider what we think we already have.
By the same token are they valued. A "wow" moment is appreciated by most of us.

I thank you dearly for it.
