*Green Coca Cola Bottles


Artist: Andy Warhol
Title: Green Coca Cola Bottles
Date: 1962
Material: Oil on Canvas
Location: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York
Significance: This painting, oil on canvas, depicts various Coca Cola glass bottles, that were collected and replicated by Warhol. This piece doesn't fit the typical Warhol comic book or photo negative stigma BUT it does show his irony to the then current pop culture. He took something that was hitting its peak in 1962, Coke, and helped make it into an iconic image.
