About the Item

ANDY WARHOL Campbell's Soup, Tomato 1970-2020 Silkscreen On Museum Board 88.9 × 58.4 cm (35 × 23 in) Stamped in blue ink on verso, "Published by Sunday B. Morning" and "fill in your own signature.” In mint condition Unframed Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans are perhaps the most well-known images of American modern art and have become a symbol of American Pop Art. Initially created as a series of thirty-two canvases in 1962, it was first exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles, and displayed together like product at a grocery store. Between the 32 flavors, there are subtle differences and imperfections, meaning that this really was ‘high’ art dwelling on a ‘low’ — everyday, readily available or seemingly mundane — subject. The very essence of Pop Art itself. Warhol’s inspiration for the series developed from his personal life. He explained: “I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 year, I guess, the same thing over and other”. This sense of repetition was both internalized by the artist and embodied by commercial mass culture. “I don’t think art should be only for the select few. I think it should be for the mass of the American people.„ —Andy Warhol ABOUT THE ARTIST Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement. Using a variety of media materials from photographs up to computer-generated art, Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Emerging from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, Warhol became a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York. In 1960, he began to produce his first canvases depicting Popeye and Dick Tracy. After Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962, he started working from snapshots of the star’s already legendary face, which had been widely distributed by the world’s press. His choice of subjects clearly relates to an obsession with demise – his Marilyns, his Ten Lizies (created when the actress Elizabeth Taylor was seriously ill), and also his Elvis. Part of the “Death and Disaster” series, Andy Warhol´s Marilyn Monroes are undoubtedly iconic portraits of our era, exploring as they do the artist’s fascination for images of death and beauty. He worked across many media as a painter, printmaker, illustrator, film-maker, and writer, and produced many world-famous series. Andy Warhol Flower´s series reinterprets a traditional motif spanning the history of art, while Warhol´s Cambell´s Soup Can series represents the mass-produced, printed advertisements that inspired him since his childhood. Towards the end of 1962, the artist turned to the photo-silkscreen process, which became his signature medium. From 1963 up until 1968, the year in which he was shot, Warhol – surrounded by assistants in his studio The Factory – took the industrial character of his work to its climax. Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions and books, as well as feature and documentary films. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, is the largest museum in the United States dedicated to a single artist. Andy Warhol´s artworks are some of the most influential works of art of the second half of the twentieth century, representing the most recognizable images ever produced. “ Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign again in the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America in the same way again. ” —Andy Warhol Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement.
