“Printing, or being ‘in print,’ represented a change in condition, a shift from a private, or inner world, to one that was external and public. It suggested desirability, that something was wanted by more than one person; or, as Warhol once proclaimed, ‘repetition adds up to reputation.’”
Donna de Salvo, "God is in the Details: The Prints of Andy Warhol," in Andy Warhol Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné, Frayda Feldman and Jörg Schellmann, eds., New York, p. 19, 2003
