Coca-Cola Painting $$$

I just learned one of four Andy Warhol Coca-Cola paintings just sold for $57.2 million dollars to Wal-Mart heiress Alice L. Walton.  What does this mean?

Cans for Trade February 2014
Well, first I suppose ole' Andy would be pleased with the irony.  The painting is a hand painted black and white Coca-Cola bottle the size of a human.  It's a towering symbol of pop art.  Coca-Cola is for the masses, Warhol once said more or less in a popular quote.  If there is anything for the masses beyond Coca-Cola, its definitely Wal-Mart.  Way to go Alice!
