"Warhol not only wanted to turn the trivial and commonplace into art, but also to make art itself trivial and commonplace. He not only transforms mass produce objects and information from the mass media into art, but turns his own art into mass produce objects. Whatever is lowest comes out on top in Warhol's work, and vice versa: he knocks elitist "high" art off its pedestal and drags it doen into the slough of everyday life; sub-cultural phenomena, on the other hand, became socially acceptable."
