Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola (4), also known as Large Coca-Cola, is a pop art painting by Andy Warhol. He completed the painting in 1962 as a part of a wider collection of Coca-Cola themed paintings, including Coca-Cola (3) and Green Coca-Cola Bottles, also completed in the early to mid-1960s. The painting is of a large black and white Coke bottle, made of acrylic, pencil and Letraset on canvas. Coca-Cola (4) is almost a foot taller than the 6-foot Coca-Cola (3). Ownership Coca-Cola (4) was purchased nearly immediately after its creation by art patrons Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Hirsh of Beverly Hills. It was acquired from Irving Blum's Ferus Gallery, the site of Andy Warhol's first solo exhibition, the Campbell's Soup Can show in 1964. It was given to Christie's in New York in 1983, and was then acquired by Sotheby's auction house.
