Warhol (July)

Andy Warhol’s rare forays into landscape end in this thing in primary colours. For Warhol, one place was the same as another, unless it was New York, but this is glaringly Toorak. He’d a similar aversion to months, gladly renaming July Month. He wished we were all the same, with the same name, which he prescribed Name. One is either Jacqueline Onassis, or not. If not, why not? Warhol’s silkscreen sold for four million and is on permanent display in Canberra. It’s the PM’s Christmas card, quote: “A good likeness of Double Bay!” Protestors flung soup cans at the opening.
