Also the conversation between the two protagonists, a hairdresser and her client that can be read in speech bubbles, refers to 'Andy' and alludes to a quote of Warhol, after which the color of an image does not matter if only it fits to the curtains. Thus, this work comes from a series of five works in different basic colors, after which the work also is titled. 'The Red One' was exhibited appropriately to the subject for six months at the Star hairdresser Udo Walz at Kempinski Plaza Berlin. The painting is signed and dated lower left 'Knut Hertel 2008'.
