He never imitated a Campbell’s can 1:1, and so he let them be his medium, visual communication, narrative art.
Prof. Dr. Benjamin H. D. Buchloh has to bow down before Warhol. Does it console him that he is not alone? It applies to all Warhol critics and experts: Arthur C. Danto, Rainer Crone, Heiner Bastian, Heiner Friedrich, Neil Printz, Donna De Salvo, Prof. J.D. Dillenberger (sadly), Douglas Crimp, Prof. Peter Weibel etc… Da Vinci applies,“Happy will they be who lend ear to the words of the dead.”
I could, on the one hand, because Basquiat drew my attention to his and via the Collaborations Warhol`s illusions in my diary and suitcase. On the other hand, because I wrote copy for Müller’s Mühle soup cans, helped oversee the relaunch of the packaging design and learned just how important even the smallest details are. As Creative Director, I concepted a campaign for Schlichte, a German schnapps based on its international reputation. As evidenced by the gold medals it has won at world’s fairs.
