Specialist note

On October 6"‘, 1964, The American Supermarket opened at New York's Bianchini Gallery. This groundbreaking exhibition, conceived by gallerist and artist Ben Birillo, included works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Artschwager, Robert Watts, Tom Wesselmann, Claes Oldenburg, Billy Apple, and several other contributors. While not part of the exhibition itself, the bags were sold or given away, allowing visitors to carry away their purchases.
