Maybe. But I wonder if all the photos how many would be considered legendary? I mean, I suspect if you viewed the vast majority outside of the context of "Taken by A. Warhol". The article of course does acknowledge at least some to be mundane. I know I do sometimes take many more photos than I should - those that at best I find slightly amusing. Surely many of his would hardly rate.

Art without an artist's signature is worth much less than with. What Warhol was able to do once he had a reputation was create the situation to have these "mundane" photos taken. In other words, he was the driver as celebs were drawn to his reputation.

I think that the main appeal of this is that he captured a moment of time. It sounds like lots of street photos and candid photos of people both famous and not.
