The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Diamond Dust Shoes

Author: Andy Warhol
Year: 1980 Edit Add
Book: Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism

Now we need to look at some shoes of a different kind, and it is pleasant to be able to draw for such an image on the recent work of the central figure in contemporary visual art. Andy Warhol Diamond Dust Shoes evidently no longer speaks to us with any of the immediacy of Van Gogh's footgear; indeed, I am tempted to say that it does not really speak to us at all. Nothing in this painting organizes even a minimal place for the viewer, who confronts it at the turning of a museum corridor or gallery with all the contingency of some inexplicable natural object.
