FUTURE DEATH TOLL
“I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.”
—Andy Warhol
“In this context of achievement-and-death, artists who make Happenings are living out the purest melodrama. Their activity embodies the myth of nonsuccess, for Happenings cannot be sold and taken home; they can only be supported…”
—Allan Kaprow
