    Apparently, one day in 1962, Andy Warhol walked into this store. The rest is history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_Soup_Cans
  • The U.S. National Archives said:
    Yes, it looks like photographer Bruce Bisping might have been influenced, perhaps inspired, by Mr. Warhol's Campbells Soup Cans. According to one source, Warhol admired the image of the Jolly Green Giant, who is posing on cans of nibblet corn to the left.

    Jerry- you have very diplomatically corrected the historic record here. Thanks for noticing - I expect no less from one of the worlds great repositories of history!
