Campbell's Soup

Andy Warhol provoked and changed the world of art like hardly any other. The work entitled Campbell's Soup was created right at the start of his global careerA well-known design adorns the most recent Andy Warhol collectors’ series: The Campbell’s soup tins. According to Warhol he was commissioned by an art dealer in 1961 to paint a picture of the thing that meant most to him. Using templates, Warhol then began producing images of coins and soup tins by the American company Campbell’s – an endeavour which was to pay for his meal tickets for many years to come.
