Ed Higgins Pop Art Campbell's Tomato Soup Can Painting

About the Item

Homage to Andy Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Soup can painting by Ed Higgins. Acrylic paint on stretched canvas. 12" x 16". Circa 1987. Inscribed, verso, in pencil. Purchased from the estate of a friend of Ed Higgins. Unsigned and unframed, but wired to hang. Partial biography from AskArt: E.F. Higgins grew up in a small town outside Chicago. Trips to the Field Museum, Museum of Science & Industry and the Chicago Art Institute* Museum were probably formative in his later creativity. As a boy, he made models, bombs, zip-guns, tree houses, mini bikes and collected stamps. At age 15, when his family moved to Ann Arbor, he took poetry and art classes in high school. As a senior, he did well with his welded sculpture at the local Art Fair. Higgins attended Western Michigan University, majoring in Art, quitting two weeks before graduating. Two years later, he finished up his B.A. at the University of Colorado and then went on to graduate school, receiving his M.F.A. in 1976. While there he majored in painting and printmaking. With no teaching prospects, he moved to N.Y.C. in 1976 and is still there. Of his artwork, he said: "As a boy, I collected stamps and carved rubber erasers into rubber stamps. At the University of Colorado, I was into painting and printmaking; specifically, in '74 or '75 working extensively from 2-D objects; play money, stock certificates, stamps, mining claims, postcards, posters, letter-heads, labels, maps, blue-prints…all sorts of 'non-Art', commercially produced 2-D visuals. Around in there somewhere, I worked at a silk-screen* shop, and as a surveyors rodman, and setting type by hand for a rubber stamp shop. All these things I incorporated into my art. In 1975 I did 3 sheets of stamps, offset, with the help of a friend, Jim Green, who worked at the local paper at night.
