Smile!

I happened to notice this work of art particularly because it reminded me of a much more famous piece. Although very different on what the pieces portray and signify, the two seem to have a resemblance on how there is a reproduction of a certain type of iamge. The piece I saw is by Rob Pruitt, a collection of different smiley faces. The piece it reminded me of was Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup Collection.

I don’t really feel that the two are directly related, but I found the concept of making a project out of a collection of similar art pieces. After looking up Rob Pruitt, I found out that he is a really big fan of Andy Warhol. One of his latest pieces include “The Andy Monument” which is a 7 feet tall chrome-finished statue of Andy Warhol.
