Warhols go better with Coke

In a mingling of pop art, advertising and the real thing, about 30 Andy Warhol renderings of Coca-Cola’s curvy trademark bottle will go on display at a new museum near headquarters for the world’s largest beverage maker.
Most of the paintings, pencil sketches and screenprints -- all about Coke except for a self-portrait -- will be on exhibit beginning May 24 at the new World of Coca-Cola museum near the company’s headquarters in Atlanta.
The paintings are on loan for a year from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.
The new Coke museum replaces one that opened in 1990 and closed April 7 after drawing about 13 million visitors. Aside from its always-popular tasting lounge of Coca-Cola products from around the world, the new, twice-as-big museum will feature more than 1,000 Coke artifacts never exhibited before.
