" Staring at his cleft moon for seventy-six minutes, i begin to understand its abstraction: high-contrast lighting conscripts the ass into being a figure for whiteness itself, particularly when the ass merges with the blank leader at each reel's end. The buttocks, seen in isolation, seem explicitly double: two cheeks, divided in the center by a dark line. The bottom's double structure suggests another, anatomical, abject way to read the double in Warhol's work: as a representation or displacement of the butt's two cheeks, or of any bodily bifurcation (testicles, vaginas, breasts). Taylor himself was Andy's double - a man with the knack of over-turning stigma through outrageous pantomine. "



" Home was where he glued himself back together: he used the word glued to describe his process of self-repair, which involved literally gluing the wig to his pate. "

[Wayne Koestenbaum on Warhol]
