Re Andy Warhol, that is exactly the case I was thinking of. But I don't happen to know if he had a problem, and I have (lightly) searched several AW sites for that info. Also, since I would be using actual ads, cut into pieces, and he painted the item, is there any difference?
Thanks, again--

My response:
Okay, the answer to the Andy Worhol conundrum is "No." Whether you paint them, or cut them out, descriptions of products and their "reconstruction" on canvas, or whatever medium, are still "artistic expression" and are not subject to copyright infringement.
Now, for my sage information, in exchange, I want a 20"X30" collage for my office, consisting mainly of Chiquita Banana ads and Attorney advertisements. You figure out the relationship.
