When you think about it department stores are kind of like museums.
Andy Warhol
For the Art Circle group, here’s a blog on the art of shopping that we’ll be discussing on Tuesday. Let’s start at local shopping center, Pentagon City, inspired by the words of the Pop superstar, and approaching its advertising environment as if it were an art museum.

through its fashion galleries decorated for Valentine’s Day,
——————————

and department store exhibits,

where you can truly find art in a bottle,

and polar bears in an elevator.

Shoes, though, were a Warhol obsession, and still are popular with today’s shoppers, whether elegantly expensive,
——————————
——————————
or filling entire stores.

What would Warhol’s creative opinion be of this display?
