Do images of soup cans or thoughts of fifteen minutes of fame come to mind when you’re viewing the Goldsmith photo?
Both Warhol’s works and Vanity Fair can be seen as celebrations of, well, celebrity vanity.
What I’m getting at is that it seems Vanity Fair chose the Warhol for the cover because it means something very different than the original photograph and that Warhol’s baggage could easily be what the editors needed for the intended effect.
