The Captain's Sculpture, parts 116 - 119

 

116. What you are doing Richard, is in the tradition of the famous Warhol, and of Duchamp before him. Duchamp made us see urinals and bicycle wheels as art.

117. And Warhol made us see soup labels as art, and you are making people see manhole covers as art.

118. Her lecture about Warhol was very important to me in many ways. The most important way it was important to me was because she called me ‘Richard,’ instead of Mr. Bertelsby, which is how she had always addressed me before.  

119. At that time I did not begin calling her Agnes, however.
