1 month, 2 days, 7 hours agoEven 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?
