- Description
-
Campbell’s Soup Cans I: Vegetable 48 is a print by Andy Warhol included in the Campbell’s Soup Cans I portfolio. As some of his most iconic work, the soup cans prints are indicative of his revolutionary Pop Art style. The screen print is bold in its simplicity and color. The red stripe against the white bottom accentuates the red letters below, and the white Campbell’s logo matches the bottom of the can. Campbell’s Soup Cans I, as well as his second portfolio of soup can prints, are some of Warhol’s most valuable printed works.
Warhol printed the Vegetable 48 soup can in 1968, six years after the original Campbell’s Soup Cans paintings (sometimes called 32 Campbell’s Soup Cans) debuted at Warhol’s first solo exhibit. The exhibit, held at the Ferus gallery in Los Angeles, was both acclaimed and widely criticized. Simply put, the work garnered controversy because of the way Warhol’s art disrupted the status quo of the era.
