And I cannot stress this enough: bury their bones in an unmarked ditch.
Those are original Warhol boxes. Two Brillos, a Motts and a Campbells tomato soup. Multiple millions worth of original art, set on the floor by the front door.
Theres a regular customer whom i do plumbing work for, for the last 3 or 4 years. These belong to her. She also has Cherub Riding a Stag, and a couple other Warhols that i cannot identify, along with other originals by other artists that i also cannot identify. I have to go back to her house this coming Monday, i might get photos of the rest of her art, just so i can figure out what it is.
Even though i dont have an artistic bone in my entire body, i can appreciate art. I have negative feelings on private art like this that im too dumb to elucidate on.
eat the fucking rich. they are good for nothing.
Ok fair enough I agree there is art here but I think the art I am looking at here was done by someone working at campbells soup company.
I genuinely can't see what artistically differenciates this from having actual boxes of soup and hair jell stacked. if the point is that it's commercial and day to day then Warhol has done that worse than the people he's copying as actually selling soup would be the height of making that point
Heck, I agree with you about that. He should have just sold soup cans. And that is what other artists in modern art have basically done after him, in part because Warhol pushed the boundary towards that first. A lot of modern art is showing off commercialization. Like that Banksy piece that shredded itself after being auctioned off.
And also I wanna say: Warhol himself fucking sucks. I am not defending him I am just defending his work as being influential.
The fact that someone is willing to pay so much money for these boxes and what that says is part of the art. I think you are using the term art to refer to the physical objects on display, but the object itself isn't the art - the relationships that the object facilitates are. The relationship between the viewer and the object, the relationship between the artist and the object, the relationship between the viewer and the artist through the object, etc.
Some paint on a canvas is just that: paint on a canvas. It only becomes art through our engagement with it.
