p[art]nership - party decor

We have a special contributor for the p[art]nership series today!  Kate Todd is the author of the blog Party Resources, where she shares all kinds of wonderful ideas for creating a smashing party.  She has kindly put together a design for a party based on a piece of artwork.  The p[art]nership series is all about how art relates to interior design and fashion.

Campbell's Soup Cans  was produced in 1962 by Andy Warhol. It consists of thirty-two canvases, each consisting of a painting of a can-one of each of the canned soup varieties The individual paintings were produced by a printmaking method. Campbell's Soup Cans' reliance on themes from popular culture helped to usher in pop art as a major art movement in the US. I wanted to incorporate the red and white colors in a table setting that would do Mr. Warhol Justice and feel like pop art.
