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?
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!
