Andy Warhol Mug for New York

 

Andy Warhol was a painter, illustrator, designer, photographer, filmmaker, producer, journalist, editor, anchorman, and model. In her book Warhol Spirit Cécile Guilbert argues, more contentiously, that he was also a serious writer. She makes much of his influence on Bret Easton Ellis, himself one of the most influential authors of recent years. In one instance, an extract from American Psycho and a social column penned by Warhol in 1973 are printed side by side. The similarities are striking: same tonal blankness, compulsive name-dropping and seemingly endless lists of designer goods.

Warhol’s name has frequently cropped up in reviews of Ellis’s work, but the connection has been most clearly established by Ellis himself. One of the characters in Glamorama is mocked because she only owns two books: the Bible plus the Andy Warhol Diaries. The inference here is that the Diaries appeal to superficial hipsters, but the juxtaposition with scripture is just as significant. The Pope of Pop presides over the celebrity culture and branded environment Glamorama is steeped in, but his presence runs the paradoxical risk of being overlooked – it is part of the novel’s wallpaper. When Victor, the protagonist, quotes one of Warhol’s epigrams, it is immediately disproved by his girlfriend’s admission that she has no idea who he is. The fact that she could have walked straight out of the Factory or the Chelsea Hotel adds a nice touch of dramatic irony.

Fantastic in plastic is a tabletop collection of melamine and acrylic designs based on Warhol’s original works. Create you very own 15 minutes of fame when you entertain using these fantastic pieces,” nesting bowls. “Art is what you can get away with” Andy Warhol. He, the famous artist, who rummaged through America’s daily routine in search of subjects for his brightly colored pop art silkscreens: think Brillo boxes, Campbell’s soup cans, etc. Now you can make Andy part of your every day with Rosenthal’s china, printed with an unmistakable Warhol daisy design. Andy Warhol would have been so proud. The pop artist’s colorful Tacoma Daisy prints are right at home on this set of melamine plates. Nestled in their own coordinating box, these dishes are the perfect size for everything from appetizers to desserts.

The designs are from the crazy, but ingenious and humurous Simon Drew, from Devon, and the famous Mr Andy Warhol, from New York. You’ll also find fun gift ideas, some more modern than others: an Andy Warhol plastic martini shaker set, Anne Taintor candles, Super Friends notecards, lava lamps and swizzle sticks in the shape of pink poodles, elephants and black cats.
