"Campbell's Soup II, Old Fashioned Vegetable (F. & S. II.54)" by Warhol

One of Andy Warhol’s most iconic motifs is featured in this screen print Campbell’s Soup II, Old Fashioned Vegetable (F. & S. II.54)from the Campbell’s Soup II series (1967). Throughout the 1960s Warhol had produced images of familiar consumer items such as Coca-Cola bottles and soup cans, one of the earliest examples being a series of paintings entitled Campbell’s Soup Cans appearing at the Fergus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. Pursued to the point of obsession, the Campbell’s Soup Cans were Warhol’s archetypal subject.
