Mmm Mmm …Glitter!
In 1996 the Museum of
Modern Art paid a jaw dropping 15 million plus for Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup
paintings. Solidifying his legitimacy with what started out as an oddity for
gallery viewers in the 1960’s. Warhol took everyday machine manufactured items and
belied the Pop Art scene with his noticeable strokes. Further
carving his mark in art history. The items he chose, the comfort food of our
childhood, are now both homey and art all at the same time. As for Campbell’s, you have to admit their
slogans are fun. Most of us could rattle off 3 or 4 of them without hesitation.
In a previous article
I featured glitter art pieces of Kellogg’s cereals ( see below ). Then it hit
me. I needed to create a glitter art piece celebrating Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s
Tomato Soup. I did take on the task of including the Gold Seal details. Warhol,
as you know, found the paints wouldn’t stick to his gold paint so he left it as
a gold circle. Mercy, let me tell you, that seal is an intricate little thing.
But you never know, one day that small detail may be worth 15 million.
The art piece is 12” x16” wood art panel with a 1 ½” cradle. Its is clear coated in epoxy:
As for Kellogg’s
cereal glitter art pieces…I eat glitter for breakfast !
