Catalogue Note
“I came into the Ferus Gallery in 1962 and Irving (Blum) said, ‘Let me show you these two photographs and see what you think of them.’ And he showed me a Soup Can painting by Warhol and a cartoon by Lichtenstein. And I went crazy. I started jumping up and down, saying, ‘This is the return to reality. This is what everybody has been talking about.’ All the critics are talking about return to reality. And they thought it was the Bay Area figurative painters. I said, ‘No this is it. This is the return to reality.’” – Dennis Hopper
