Andy Warhol 1928-1987
The final entry in Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup I series, Cream of Mushroom (F&S II.53), encapsulates the artist’s critique of mass production and consumer identity. By 1968, Warhol had fully transitioned from painter to printmaker, using the silkscreen process not only as a means of mechanical reproduction but as a conceptual framework. The Campbell’s Soup prints were not about the subject alone, but about the idea of repetition as representation.
Cream of Mushroom, like its counterparts, serves as a vehicle for Warhol’s larger artistic ambitions: to question originality, authorship, and the value of commercial imagery. This particular edition, being the final work in the ten-print series, is often collected as a way to complete a full portfolio.
Offered in excellent condition, this work has been fully authenticated and is available through Coskun Fine Art with full provenance.
