Description
Artist: Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987, American)
Title: Campbell's Soup Box
Creation Year: 1985
Medium: Lithograph on paper
Dimensions: Height: 29.25 in. (74.3 cm) - Width: 22 in. (55.88 cm)
Details: Plate Signed center left, Hand signed lower right
Condition: Very Good
Story / Additional Information: In the 1980s Warhol began to accept commissions for advertising work from a range of sources. Many critics noted that he had essentially gone full-circle, returning to where he had started in the 1950s as a commercial illustrator. Yet Warhol maintained that he “was always a commercial artist”. Due to “his overwhelming identification with the can” in 1985 he was commissioned by Campbell’s Soup to create a series of paintings of their dry-mix soups. This work displays a chicken noodle package, created by combining a photographic print with hand-drawn printed con tours. When Warhol produced the original Campbell’s paintings in the 1960s they were considered outrageous – twenty years later they appear almost as ordinary as the product they represent.
