If I create a piece of art using Coca-Cola bottles and call it "Coca-Cola Art" am I infringing on a trademark? Or am I describing my art piece accurately?

Was Andy Warhol ever sued for his Campbell Soup cans?

Yes, but it was for copyright infringement, not trademark infringement, and they dropped the case.

I think the answer is "no, of course not, silly". :) But I also think things would've been radically different if he'd made cans of soup, called them Campbell soup cans and put them in supermarkets.
