According to Warhol, the inspiration for the cow image came from art dealer Ivan Karp: Another time he said, 'Why don't you paint some cows, they're so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts.' (Ivan talked like this.) I don't know how 'pastoral' he expected me to make them, but when he saw the huge cow heads — bright pink on a bright yellow background — that I was going to have made into rolls of wallpaper, he was shocked. But after a moment he exploded with: 'They're super-pastoral! They're ridiculous! They're blazingly bright and vulgar!' I mean, he loved those cows and for my next show we papered all the walls in the gallery with them.[1] The show Warhol refers to is his April, 1966 show at the Leo Castelli Gallery, which consisted only of Cow Wallpaper in one room, and a second room with Warhol's silver helium-filled Clouds.[2] The historian and critic Barbara Rose interpreted Cow Wallpaper as a commentary on the nature of art collecting and the character of the institutions where art is displayed. In a review of Warhol's 1971 retrospective show at the Whitney, she observed that cows are a common subject of genre paintings that people display in their homes, and that the wallpaper made the Whitney look like "a boutique." She continued, "Of course the museum has been a boutique for a long time, and people have been treating paintings like wallpaper even longer. But Andy spells it out with his usual cruel clarity."[3] References1. ^{{cite book |last1=Warhol |first1=Andy |last2=Hackett|first2=Pat|title=POPism: The Warhol 60s |date=1980|publisher=Harcourt Brace Jovanovich|location=New York|isbn=9780151730957|page=18|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xtI3AQAAIAAJ}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Andy Warhol|url=https://www.castelligallery.com/artists/Warhol/warhol.html|website=Castelli Gallery|accessdate=31 October 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Rose|first1=Barbara|title=In Andy Warhol's Aluminum Foil, We Have All Been Reflected|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ij-_4jJ4oj8C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false|work=New York Magazine|date=31 May 1971|page=55|issn=0028-7369|language=en}} External Links
