Andy Warhol was famed for delivering pithy philosophies on business, commerce, money, art and life to derive lessons for the modern day artist. Here are a couple of our favourite gems of Warholian advice:
‘You know it’s ART, when the cheque clears.’
‘Business art is the step that comes after art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. During the hippie era people put down the idea of business.They’d say “money is bad” and “working is bad”. But making money is art, and working is art – and good business is the best art.’
