Soup Can Columns

WarholPillarsSoup can columns on the exterior of the Warhol Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy marking the 20th anniversary of Warhol's death (Photo by Tom Rolfe, 2007, Edinburgh, Scotland).

Credited with the idea of converting their columns into stacks of giant Campbell’s Soup cans, the National Gallery of Scotland’s “in-house marketing team” was awarded a Media Guardian Innovation Award last April.

    This shopping cart was sold by Accoutrements (http://www.accoutrements.com ) and Archie McPhee (http://www.mcphee.com ) about 10 years ago. No longer available, but it was sold as a kitchen countertop sort of thing, not really a toy.
