Warhol's Soup Cans... in real life!

Even though famous artist Andy Warhol has been dead for twenty years, people seem to be continuously (if not increasingly) interested in his work. Campbell's Soup issued a limited edition soup label featuring the famous Warhol-style pop-art colours, which have become known as a symbol of wealth and power. A supermarket in a small rural Ohio town sold the cans for $2 each, but two years later a ritzy store in New York sold each individual can for $12. Around the same time, Warhol's prints of the famous soup cans sold for about $11.8 million. Is the interest in Andy Warhol being resurrected, or is it just a trend that will fade? Join discussion...
