Montblanc is bringing pop art to pens with its latest addition to the Great Characters collection. Honoring the father of pop art himself, these pens feature recognizable work by Andy Warhol.
The Great Characters collection was introduced to honor famed figures from all over the world. With pens paying tribute to such icons as Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy, Leonardo da Vinci and more, it was only a matter of time before the series centered in on the late Andy Warhol. Honoring Warhol by adding a pair of new pens, these writing tools feature influences from the artist's 'Flowers' piece as well as his classic Campbell's Soup can series.
Utilizing iconic figures from ages ago and attaching them to modernly designed pens is what makes Great Characters such a captivating collection.
