Andy's on sale again

I've been thinking about Warhol a lot recently and really seeing his influence on a lot of current 'media art' so I was amused when I discovered (via Kottke) that Barneys department store in New York are selling

limited edition soup cans with authentic reproductions of Andy Warhol designed labels. Printed on special quality paper and with Andy's signature (reproduced). Campbell's soup with Warhol labels

The must have xmas gift for the f**king eejit in your life and a snip at only $48, but nonetheless something which would have amused Andy as long as he got well paid for it.

Keeping with that theme I also discovered recently the BMW art car project which Andy did in 1979 painting, unlike other artists, directly on the car with a paintbrush and seemingly unlike other artists the only one who had a bit of fun with such a naff idea.
