Andy Warhol was being an asshole. At least Ron Whyte thought so when the two artists crossed paths at a Soho gallery opening in the early 1970s. It's unclear what offense Warhol committed, another incident whose details have been lost to the historical record. But if Warhol had not behaved badly that fateful evening, Whyte—a queer and disabled playwright—might never have removed the “cosmetic glove” covering his “withered” left arm and hurled it at the visual artist, enabling the glove to make its own “contribution to modern art.” The famed artist, Whyte claimed, would go on to copy this assault by prosthesis in Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (1973).

罗恩·怀特的“失业”：假肢表演和戏剧劳动

安迪沃霍尔是个混蛋。至少当两位艺术家在 1970 年代初在 Soho 画廊开幕时相遇时，罗恩·怀特是这么认为的。目前尚不清楚沃霍尔犯了什么罪，这是另一起细节已被历史记录遗失的事件。但如果沃霍尔没有在那个决定性的夜晚表现不佳，怀特——一个古怪而残疾的剧作家——可能永远不会取下覆盖在他“枯萎”的左臂上的“化妆手套”，然后将它扔给视觉艺术家，使手套能够自己制作“对现代艺术的贡献。” 怀特声称，这位著名的艺术家将继续用假肢复制这种攻击。安迪沃霍尔的科学怪人（1973 年）。
