Hmm, was Andy Warwhol an artist or not? Special K makes a good point that his earlier work was probably more the work of an artist. I disagree that his later silk screen work, where others executed the pieces, was not art. I think of fashion designers here. Granted some or most are not artists; but a few do surmount the usual and actually design something that is incredible. Is the person that creates or designs a work, but doesn't execute it, him/herself not an artist at that point? Still not sure.

PS: I very much enjoy your shows when you go to art shows like this one and then have discussions and reflections between you and Special K. Good job!
