“Taxi was from Charleston, South Caroline – a confused, beautiful debutante who’d split with her family and come to New York. She had a poignantly vacant, vulnerable quality that made her a reflection of everybody’s private fantasies. Taxi could be anything you wanted her to be – a little girl, a woman, intelligent, dumb, rich, poor – anything. She was a wonderful, beautiful blank. The mystique to end all mystiques.” – Excerpt from Andy Warhol’s The Philosophy of Andy Warhol
And in that sense, more complex and mysterious than anyone can imagine…..
Time to head up to Liverpool Tate for the ‘Transmitting Andy Warhol’ exhibition before it closes!

What?? Museums outside of London?? What a shocking concept! 😛 That one does sound really great though. I love watching Andy Warhol interviews. One in particular he is asked about why he started making films, and his reply was something like “It’s just easier.”
