“With the Alabama Race Riot, I was trying to think, immediately of very exciting ideas in reference to Andy and the work, I finally decided, I’m going to involve him totally physically with this artwork. And as soon as I mentioned that to him and I got the roll of tape from him I said, now, Andy, what I’m going to do is going to tape these two images together and then we’re going to put them over your shoulders like a sandwich board, he went crazy. He loved it. So I walked over to the door and I said, what is out here? Oh, he said, that’s the fire escape. So I opened the door and I had him stand out there and the image wasn’t working correctly initially. So I said, Andy, I said, walk down to the next level and then come up the stairway. The he walked down when I got him up to this perfect composition I said, hold it. So he held it and we shot this whole thing just like that.â€
