"I never understood why when you died, you didn't just vanish, and
everything could just keep going the way it was only you just wouldn't be
there. I always thought I'd like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph,
and no name. Well, actually, I'd like it to say 'figment'"-Andy Warhol

Hang it on the wall, take it to town.
If there is a ROOTOTE, there becomes a gallery.

In 2006, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the death of Andy Warhol, a new line of tote bags printed with his works has been added to “ROOTOTE”.
Featuring both functionality and artistry, the capacious ROOTOTE has been recognized as an ultimate artistic tote bag and become an expected item at shops selling artistic goods such as museum shops, interior stores and selected shops. This great artist’s works, which never fade away over the years, can be on display in your room or be carried around with you. With ROOTOTE, the place will turn into a gallery. Why don’t you bring art into your life?

A self-portrait, an electric chair, a diamond ring.
The pattern, and such a straightforward, shocking motif is one of the representative technique of Warhol.
The six "things" printed on tote-bags send a powerful message with his way of life.
