Chanel No. 5 Perfume Advertising Posters by Warhol


Here are some very beautiful Andy Warhol Art posters used by Chanel in 1997 on the streets of Paris. Andy Warhol created this design in the 1980's but, due to his unexpected early death, the images were not used until much later. The Chanel Art Print Posters measured approx 20" x 28" inches each. They are of the classic ladies perfume Chanel No. 5.

Urban Toys of Andy Warhol: Vinyl Figure & Wooden Doll


Today there's a new "Urban Toys" art movement within the world of toy design where many young designers are creating their own special kind of art. Many of these people are very influenced by Warhol & consider him to be a big hero. So, it's no wonder, that they have made a few toys that resemble him. Here's one such example & I think it's pretty cool. It's funny he's holding a Campbell's Soup Can. Also, shown below, is a video featuring the largest "Art Army" action figure yet. He stands about 39" tall with 16 posable body part pieces. He's has removable accessories of a Super 8 Video Camera, a Campbell's Soup Can, & Sunglasses...very cool!

Vintage LP Record Albums with Andy Warhol Artwork


In music history there have been many different album covers featuring Andy Warhol artwork. Shown up above are just a few examples. The one of Count Basie is actually quite RARE. It used commercial art that Andy did in the 1950's. The one with the Rolling Stones Love You Live art was specially commissioned by Mick Jagger. The banana cover is for a band called the Velvet Underground which was owned by Warhol. This image is practically an icon & has been reproduced on hundreds of T-Shirts, The last one with Paul Anka's portrait was just that, a portrait. Mr. Anka hired Warhol to do a few paintings of him & later he chose this one to be an album cover. I thought this would be a neat post, hope ya like it.

MARK KOSTABI: Post-Modern Pop Artist Paintings




In the 1980's one of my favorite artists was a guy named MARK KOSTABI. He's still a favorite of mine today. He was kinda famous for being one of those artists who hardly ever paints his own paintings, a lot like Andy Warhol, ha ha. One of his gimmicks is to appropriate images from famous art masterpieces & blend them into his own artwork. Here's a few examples. If you look at his 3 paintings here you'll be sure to see examples from Art History. There's Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, Pablo Picasso, Matisse, Dali, & of course, Andy Warhol. Oh yeah, one last thing, the painting of the artist who has hung himself...that's a Desktop Wallpaper. Click on it for a larger version.
