The Best Andy Warhol Brand Collaborations

"Making money is art, and working is art and good business is the best art," king of Pop art Andy Warhol wrote in his 1975 book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (1975).

The artist insisted that art and commerce were inseparable, and he made reproducible silk screens of mass-produced products in his Factory to prove just that. Years after his Campbell's Soup Cans, the Andy Warhol Foundation stays true to Warhol's entrepreneurial spirit. The Foundation has sold off Warhol's trademarked works to so many companies that they might look like sell-outs. At the same time, wouldn't this be just what Warhol wanted? Wherever you stand on this debate, it's undeniable that some pretty awesome products have been inspired by Warhol art. Take a look at The Best Andy Warhol Brand Collaborations.
