Terence’s Note: This post was originally on FortCollinsNouns
When I moved to Fort Collins way back in 1999 this work of art was almost the thing of urban legend. People would speak of this giant Andy Warhol soup can that CSU once had. I never gave it much thought because I assumed it was either long gone, maybe now residing at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg or long forgotten in some CSU warehouse never to be seen again.
But thankfully this fine piece of art has now found a home in front of CSU’s University Center for the Arts.
The can and Warhol’s visit to Fort Collins has received a lot of attention recently. That is because of CSU’s Art Museum’s two exhibits Through Warhol’s Lens and Warhol’s Flowers. The museum is looking for people who have memories of the 1981 visit from Warhol. You can read more about that here.
