Warhol-mania
January 21, 2009
Commerce Turned Art Turned Commerce…Warholmania. ‘I don’t know where artificial starts and real stops’ Andy Warhol once said. In my research for the feature article on Warhol, I could not help but being amazed with the wide range of products for sale carrying his name and or his art, or are inspired by his work. What do you think? Are we mocking commercialism and society with these products, or are we as a society relishing his bright colors, returning his artistic works back to products? Who do we value: Andy Warhol, the Retailer & Commercial Illustrator, or Andy... Read more »
