A modern silkscreen in colors on a paper shopping bag titled “Campbell’s Soup Can (Tomato)” by Andy Warhol. Limited edition for the 1966 exhibition of Andy Warhol at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston. The soup cans were one of Warhol's most sustained motifs. The everyday pantry staple of canned soup is turned into fine art, and this time in the form of a shopping bag, adding another layer of irony. A commentary on mass-consumerism in the postwar era. From a private collection. Dimensions: 29”h x 23”w x .75”d (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American visual artist, film director, and producer who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966-67). Today, Warhol's art can be viewed in countless museums and the value of Andy Warhol's work has been on an endless upward trajectory since his death in 1987. In May 2022, Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold for $195 million at Christie's, becoming the most expensive American artwork sold at auction.
