magpie soup

His career in the can… let me rephrase that.















Andy Warhol, young upstart
Made us wonder 'What is art?"
Repeated Monroes,
Soup cans in rows,
Scotch paper, paint, a shopping cart!

  5. Love the Dandy Andy Minestrone soup concept. Campbell corp should have considered it. Alas they didn't have your marketing genius.

  6. Dear Stafford: Marketing genius and art purveyor on the conveyor belt of stocked shelves, you are making big on Minestrone? Oddly Andy and Howard Hughes both liked chicken noodle and wasnt it Tomato Soup mainly featured. You'd think he'd go with what he knew; maybe not.
