Art Is What You Can Get Away With

I'm in Pittsburgh and visited The Andy Warhol Museum today. Its the most fun I've had at a museum in a long time--I played with mylar balloons in the Silver Clouds gallery and was lucky enough to catch the Shepard Fairey exhibition that I missed in Boston in February. Above Fairey does Andy--its a little creepy, I know, but I couldn't stop looking at it as it seems to capture Warhol's particular, peculiar essence.
