On the day of the #NotMyPresdent’s Day March, I got separated from the people I had come with and, due to crowd-control efforts, I ended up having to take a detour all the way over to Broadway in order to come back around and find my friends waiting for me on Central Park West. And it was there on Broadway, somewhere between 65th and 68th Streets, that I passed by this store window display for Mr. Bubble, which also featured many Hot Pink Rubber Ducks. Awesome.

The catalyst for Andy Warhol’s transformation from commercial to fine artist was a 1961 display window that he created for the Bonwit Teller Department Store at Fifth Avenue and 56th Street. The window displayed five of Warhol’s newest paintings as a backdrop to mannequins wearing Bonwit’s fashions. Representing Warhol’s first foray into what would become Pop Art, these paintings depicted commercial imagery from ads and comics, overlaid with gestural drips and blotches of Abstract Expressionism. The Bonwit window introduced Warhol’s characteristic practice of elevating pop culture into fine art that he continued to explore for the rest of his career.

It’Sugar, the candy emporium on Broadway, in Noho, had this fun slogan in its window when I passed by a week or so ago.
