Andy Warhol's Coke Bottle & VHS Movies in Bedroom, NYC by David Gamble
By David Gamble
Located in Chicago, IL
“What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too.

Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.” - Andy Warhol Andy Warhol’s Coke Bottle and VHS Movies...
