Andy Warhol used to buy lots of common plates, saucers, cups and never even opened the packages.
He knew that on his death such items would fetch thousands at an auction because HE once owned them, not for any artistic merit in the items.
Personally I found more “feeling” in the simplicity of the ceramic poppies in Britain than any Warhol, Rothko, Pollock or any modern art. As I remember from your previous posts you are an artist too — what did you think of the poppy display?
