The Spell of Still Life/Significant Objects

Colleen and I attended the opening receiption for "The Spell of Still Life" at the Norton Simon Museum on Friday.  After sipping, snacking and garden roaming, we went downstairs to visit the exhibit.  The exhibit had some suprises like the following:

"Val Vita Tomatoes with Puree" was commissioned by Marcia Simon Weisman and her husband Frederick Rand Weisman to Andy Warhol to create this birthday card to commemorate her bother, Norton Simon's 70th birthday.  The Val Vita company was acquired by Mr. Simon and later incorporated into Hunt Foods and Industries which he ran.

Happy Belated Birthday Norton Simon and

Thanks for the Museum with all the wonderful art.
