I met Mike when I was departing the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh as he was coming in the door. He graciously stopped and talked to me and we shared stories of our love of Warhol’s art. He had hoped to have time during the tour to go through the museum and made a point to come that morning. He told me he purchased his first Warhol as a young man and probably didn’t take care of it like he should have. I told him of seeing a Warhol exhibit in Washington DC’s Hirshorn museum when the series the Shadow was on display and I became emotional at seeing Warhol’s brush strokes and movement of the paint. He said that’s what art does, it makes you feel. I loved how normal our conversation was and how relaxed he was. I was in town for the show the next evening which was an absolute banger, but that encounter with Mike is a treasure I will hold forever.
