I was greeted by a super cool display of Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup cans at Target this week. Color, color, color! Did you realize that it's been 50 years since Andy Warhol created his iconic imagery of the soup can? Campbell's and Target together have embraced their inner Warhol. Back in 1962 the soup company actually pondered legal action when they saw their product on his canvas. It didn't take long for them to realize how wonderful it was for the tomato soup's image and they sent him cases of his favorite food. Warhol said he ate a can of the soup each day. These four colorful, special edition cans are only 75 cents each. I bought a bunch and created a art installation in my kitchen.
