Exhibition : Andy Warhol in Edimburgh

Presenting Andy Warhol's exhibition at National Gallery in Edimburgh, Scotland; Guardian's journalist Laura Cummings wonders if the iconic references of the works of art of Warhol make still a sense today. I think this is a very interesting reflection.

His soup cans and Brillo boxes, Jackies and Elvises are nearly half a century old. They have lost none of their graphic force, but what about their original content? What has time done to an art based on images that were once so familiar anyone could 'recognise them in a split second in the street', as Warhol said, but which are now instantly recognisable only as Warhols?
