Dr. Scholl's Corns
Warhol was particularly interested in the early 1960s with products of mass consumerism—the best-known examples of which are his Campbell's Soup cans and Coca-Cola bottles. Warhol anticipated those series by a few months with the appropriation of this advertisement for Dr. Scholl's Zino-pads that appeared in Redbook magazine in the autumn of 1961. Warhol's hand-painted blow-up references the burgeoning Postwar culture of consumption and self-improvement that American advertisers had begun to promote and inflame.
