Andy Warhol Campbell’s Soup Cans

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is arguably one of the most famous artists in the world and his works—including commercial drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, and films — are among the most recognizable. His Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) is perhaps the most emblematic representation of Warhol's work and also of American pop art. This installation of Warhol's thirty-two soup-can paintings opens on the forty-ninth anniversary of the original exhibition of the paintings at Ferus Gallery in LA — Andy Warhol's first solo exhibition — and pays tribute to the significant role played by the gallery in the development of postwar LA art and also to its revered director Irving Blum.
