More stories about soup cans


I was lucky to be able to take notes from the original work in person before beginning work on my version of this installation of Andy Warhol Soup Cans from The Museum of Modern Art NYC. These were the original paintings from Warhols freshman exhibition at Irving Blums Ferris Gallery in Santa Monica California. They caused quite a stir but the show was a failure in terms of sales. This turned out quite well for Mr. Blum, who eventually sold this set of paintings for $15,000,000.00. None of my paintings sold at first either!
