I saw the Rorschach paintings by Andy Warhol in 1996 at Gagosian in NYC. They interested me more than many of his other works. He had intended to read things into them and then write about it. However he did not have the time and then thought someone else could pretend to be him and do it instead, saying that it would be more interesting...Typical Andy! As a whole the show was powerful just by the sheer impact of all these large monochrome paintings that were abstract but not simultaneously.

Andy Warhol aka Andrew Warhola.
He became one of the most prominent artists of the 20th Century by embracing popular media fully and transforming art as we knew it until then. Warhol gave birth to art as commodity in a big way.
