Warhol Soup Can Painting Sets Record at $11.8 Million; Tonight, We Paint a Can of Beans
Topic: Entertainment

Andy Warhol is a fantastic wacko, full of odd ideas and creative artistic something or other that cannot be called talent. His Andy Warhol's Frankenstein is one of the worst horror movies ever made. His hair is obnoxious, he's an odd dresser, but the man knew how to paint a can of Campbell's soup.

Now, Warhol's "Pepper Pot" painting from that series has set a record at auction where it sold for $11.8 million. Says auction house Christie's, who sold the piece:

The painting "registers the passage of time and conveys a preoccupation with degradation, exuding destruction and frailty."

Or it's a can of fucking soup with a torn label. It doesn't have a "preoccupation" with degradation. It can't have a preoccupation with anything. It's fucking soup! It's a thing, not a human!

See, this is why we're not famous artists. Not because we lack the talent, but we lack the bullshit excuse to give when someone asks us what the bowl of fruit stands for.
