Fine Art silkscreen Andy Warhol Soup Can 35" x 23" print of the Campbell's Soup Can (Cheddar Cheese) artwork by the iconic American Pop artist Andy Warhol. This work is part of his famous Campbell's Soup II portfolio from 1969.
About the Artwork
Artist: Andy Warhol
Series: The piece belongs to a series of 10 screenprints called Campbell's Soup Cans II. This followed his original 1962 series of 32 unique paintings, one for each flavor available at the time.
Medium: The 1969 works, like the one pictured, are color screenprints on paper, a technique that allowed Warhol to mimic the mass-production methods he was fascinated with.
Style and Meaning: Warhol's soup cans are a signature symbol of Pop Art, elevating an everyday consumer item to the status of fine art. He was interested in repetition and the homogeneity of consumer culture, famously stating he used to eat the same lunch every day for 20 years. The "Great as a sauce, too!" banner, unique to the Cheddar Cheese can, emphasizes advertising slogans. |
