About this work

This 2001 work looks like a mess of torn flyers and bright magazine scraps glued to a white wall. The paper chunks spell out words and colors that almost form a face—but not quite. It’s like someone grabbed a week’s worth of ads and mashed them together. The trick here is that it’s not random. The artists used ripped posters from Warhol’s old shows. They’re playing with how fame and art get pasted around the city. Next time you’re in New York, hunt for a Warhol show at The Museum of Modern Art.
