He stated that he use to drink them for 20 years and it dominated his life.

was painted by hand, assisted by stencils.
A close look reveals the fact that the cans are not identical, nor are they evenly spaced.
The bottom row is cut off, suggesting that they continue beyond the confines of the canvas, which leads to another aspect of the work—Warhol’s interest in machine-like processes such as mass production.
Mass production is impersonal, and America was becoming more and more depersonalized. But mass production is also efficient, and Warhol admired that efficiency.
He even said in 1962, "I want everybody to think alike. . I think everybody should be a machine."
Slide 3
Andy Warhol, A-Bombs
Depicts a mushroom cloud, repeated 28 times, in black and red colors.
Brighter and warmer at the top (the heat of the explosion? the blood?) but getting darker and darker as we reach the bottom of the painting, expressing, for some, the death and nothingness.
He got the image of the mushroom cloud from newspaper photographs and printed the image in repetition.
repetition serves to screen the real understood as traumatic.
Warhol’s intention might have been, perhaps because this particular theme, is too horrible; we are talking about mass destruction and the worldwide fear of extinction.
Slide 4
Richard Hamilton, Just what is it about today's home that makes it so appealing, so different?
Collage of commodities
On the top shown moon and sky as limits.
The living space is crowded with up-to‑the-minute objects of desire: the TV set, the vacuum cleaner, the tinned ham, the tape recorder, the body builder's muscles, the cone-shape coolie hat perched on the sexy naked housewife on the sofa.
His considerable ambition was to "get all of living" into his work.
Slide 5
There are two identical figures lying on institutional-issue, metal bunk-beds, one upon each bed. Each is shackled to the frame of his bed by a leather strap and wrist-cuff.
The motivation to create this piece, The State Hospital, came out of the actual experience of the artist. In 1947 Edward Kienholz began working in a mental hospital in Lake Medicine, Washington. The conditions that the inmates were subjected to effected him. He constructed this piece, in 1966, as a form of indictment of all such institutions.
Edward Kienholz wanted his art to function in the capacity of a social conscience. He wanted to create art that would make people reconsider the role of throw-away people in modern culture; to draw attention to the facets of society that are taboo.
Ed Klienholz, The state hospital,1966

Lynda Benglis, For Carl Andre
I felt I wanted to define for myself the organic phenomena; what nature itself would suggest to me in sculpture. — Lynda Benglis

A black, oozing mass from the artist’s famous series of poured sculpture—is visually one of the most peculiar pieces in the permanent collection.
Benglis makes an ironic and humorous homage to Andre in her work’s stark contrast to the Minimalist aesthetic.

Yoko Ono, Painting for the wind
Slide 11
Sol Le Witt, Arcs and Lines
From the simple straight line, in black pencil on a white wall, of his first wall drawings, to the luminous ink washes, exuberant swirls of color and final scribbled graphite works.

It began tamely. Someone turned her around. Someone thrust her arms into the air. Someone touched her somewhat intimately.
The Neapolitan night began to heat up. In the third hour all her clothes were cut from her with razor blades. In the fourth hour the same blades began to explore her skin. Her throat was slashed so someone could suck her blood.
Various minor sexual assaults were carried out on her body. She was so committed to the piece that she would not have resisted rape or murder. Faced with her abdication of will, with its implied collapse of human psychology, a protective group began to define itself in the audience. When a loaded gun was thrust to Marina's head and her own finger was being worked around the trigger, a fight broke out between the audience factions.
