One day an art dealer by the name of Ivan Karp showed up to Andy Warhol's studio to see what all the fuss was about. He noticed Warhol was playing the same record over and over again. It was Dickey Lee's "I Saw Linda Yesterday".

After a half-a-dozen spins, Karp asked Warhol if ever played anything else.

Warhol responded...

"Well, I play a record for a long time until I learn to understand it."

This habit of repetition eventually bled into Warhol's creative process, which he described as...

"I started repeating the same image because I liked the way the repetition changed the same image. Also, I felt at the time, as I do now, that people can look at and absorb more than one image at a time."

You've got to spend some time with something in order to really understand it.
