The New York Times writes about Andy Warhol’s grave located in quiet Bethel Park, PA. Imagining the design of memorial marker for any famous artist seems like a worthy conceptual activity (or at least a feature in MAD Magazine), but something about Warhol’s work itself seems to almost demand he be given an parodic (at worst) or referential (at best) headstone. Although Warhol did arrange for his grave to be maintained, if he designed his own headstone, it’s certainly unlike his other work. Fans, however, evolve and build upon the headstone, by adding items such as soup cans and (inexplicably) pocket change. More on his grave
