Warhol & Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Shipping Cartons
The 1978 “Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Cereal” silkscreen print (via: ArtBrokerage.com)
Perhaps eclipsed by Campbell’s Soup & Brillo boxes, but Kellogg’s Corn Flakes shipping cartons have also figured prominently in the oeuvre of Warhol’s branded packaging artworks.
And just so you know, yesterday was the start of a series of posts concerning Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Call it: Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Week. Or not. I don’t care. It might run longer than a week, anyway.

(Another Warhol print & a genuine Kellogg’s shipping carton, after the fold…)
On left another “Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Cereal” print from the 1978 silkscreen series; on right a detail of a photo (from: Last Nights Garbage’s Flickr Photostream) showing what a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes shipping carton actually looks like these days. (or at least: circa 2007)
