No small task, as art historian Pamela Lee writes in her introduction, for "we are in absolute thrall to their critical legacy."
"Warhol's Dream," however, is not a critical or an art historical essay. Rather, it takes up the perhaps impossible task of imagining just what Andy and Bob might have had—and might still have—to say to one another. Taking as his point of departure the tonally sophisticated texts and voices of Warhol's "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol" and Smithson's famous critical writings, Anton has written a fiction that takes up this critical legacy by exploring how these artists challenged our understanding of criticality in the way they transformed questions of objecthood, reproduction, and the relation of art to language.
