Own a famous piece of Pop Art history! This is the classic Andy Warhol \"Souper Dress\" in the permanent collections of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Andy Warhol Museum. This superb piece of Sixties conceptual art was also exhibited at a 2000 Whitney Museum exhibition focusing on Warhol\'s contribution to fashion, as well as many museum and gallery shows focusing on Art of the Sixties and Warhol\'s influence on fashion and popular culture. The Souper Dress is an early example of the convergence of fashion, high art, advertising and industry, and is well recognized as a collectors item. The Souper Dress was originally sold folded and shipped in the mail to people who clipped out an ad in a Ladies Journal, wrote a check for $1.00 and mailed it to the Campbell\'s Soup Company. Many women who acquired these dresses took the instructions on the affixed label literally and disposed of these valuable dresses after wearing them so, the Souper Dress is increasingly scarce and valuable. A must-have for serious Warhol fans and collectors, as well as designers and fashionistas. The irony of course is that it was created as a piece of ephemera that collectors today desperately seek to preserve.
