There is no street-graffiti version because Warhol’s medium was commercial imagery translated through painting and screen printing, not street art. By elevating an ordinary grocery label into fine art, Warhol challenged the divide between consumer culture and high art. The onion can becomes a symbol of repetition, branding, memory, and American everyday life.
