Vintage 1960's Andy Warhol Soup Can Paper Dress & Some Designer Shoes

In the 1960's Andy Warhol designed a "High-Fashion" Paper Dress covered with multiple images of his famous Campbell's Tomato Soup Can art. These are quite RARE today. In fact, both collectors of Fine Art & Vintage Clothing collectors really love this item. They pop-up on eBay every now & then. I think it would be cool to have one framed flat for the wall. The next photo is a pair of "Soup Can" designer shoes made just a few years ago. They're handmade & very nice quality ( that means "expensive", ha ha! ). I don't think they were sanctioned by The Warhol Estate but made by some Mod-Style Shoe Designer as an homage to Andy. They're pretty cool though. Something that's kinda funny is I remember reading in THE ANDY WARHOL DIARIES book about how when he did autograph events people would just shove cases of Campbell's Soup Cans in his face for him to sign & later he remarked, "Oh God, I am so sick of these cans"! Like as if he saw another can he would just barf, ha ha!

WARHOL BACKGROUNDS: Wacky Wallpapers Wednesday!

We thought a great gimmick for the ANDY BLOG would be that EVERY Wednesday we would post 2 fresh brand-new Andy Warhol themed Desktop backgrounds. Hence the name, "Warhol Wacky Wallpapers Wednesday"! Yeah, that's a lot of W's, ha ha! The 1st one is a partial shot of the cover to a new book titled ANDY WARHOL GIANT-SIZE. I am completely obsessed with this HUGE Hardback Book as it's one of the best ever made! But it is kind of expensive so I might have to wait awhile, ha ha! The 2nd Desktop Wallpaper is a photo taken at the New York City MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ( MOMA ) where they own the original 32 Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy...talk about an iconic image, these are modern day Art Masterpieces! You can use these to brighten your desktop or use as a background in a Warhol-Theme MySpace Layout...Enjoy!

ART PRINT: Campbell's Tomato Soup Can Shopping Bag Serigraph ©1966

Campbell's Tomato Soup Can Shopping Bag Serigraph ( measures 17" X 19 1/2" ) published for an Andy Warhol exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachussets, dated ©October 1st - November 6th, 1966. I saw one of these a few years back at an Art Museum in Kansas & it was amazing. I like how he used such an unconventional item to silkscreen his famous image on.
