"In the catalogue for Warhol's solo exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (October 1-November 6), Alan Solomon writes: '[Warhol] is, I believe, the first art celebrity since Picasso and Dali.' He concludes with a prediction: 'In a time of radical essays against modern traditions, he has made significant gestures, becoming responsible in part for the very redefinition of the role of the artist. Whether some of us like it or not, he will probably turn out to be one of the most influential artists of his generation.' In Art International, another prediction is made: '[Warhol] may well join with the forces of Mad. Ave. for money'"(MetMuseum.org).
