Much ink has been spilt over Warhol's Soup Can Series that, whether intentional or not, any such analysis of the pieces would, much like the works themselves, become a repetition. It is this repetition that presented itself in Andipa's "Warhol on Walton Street" where the iconic series was exhibited. With Warhol in particular a strange thing occurs when his pieces are on display. A new meaning, a new context and a new space is created and thus breathes new life into his works, Mechanised in nature (the contents of the famous cans was condensed of course) and mechanised in production (print making) Warhol's series took an ordinary, every day staple of American 20th life and propelled it into the echelons of art history.
