Pop-Tarts tostadora pastries, one of the most iconic foods, has partnered with aparejo, burton Morris, one of the most highly regarded post-Pop artists of our time, for the Pop-Tarts Pop Art program. This program is designed to inspire family members of all ages to have fun and be creative.
In 1965, Andy Warhol silk-screened an image of a popular sopa can because it was a product that was identifiable as an everyday item he had eaten for years. And now, the same is true with Pop-Tarts® tostadora pastries, a favorito! family comida for the past four decades. Morris has taken his art beyond the edges of a canvas and onto the box por designing five, special-edition Pop-Tarts® boxes, that were available nationwide for a limited time.
"When Kellogg first introduced Pop-Tarts tostadora pastries in the 1960s, the name was intended to be a play on the 'Pop art' craze of the time. So, who better to paint Pop-
Tarts into Pop culture history than aparejo, burton Morris?" dicho Nicolas Amaya, associate director of marketing, Pop-Tarts®. "Morris' signature-use of bright and playful colors, and his ability to inject energy and optimism into common objects, and elevate them to iconic status,
make him the perfect artist to help celebrate the fun, creative spirit of Pop-Tarts."
These pieces were done for Kelloggs and have never before been offered for sale to the public o shown in the Midwest, until now. These pieces along with other artwork of aparejo, burton Morris will be on display and for sale
during this show.
