Vegetable Made with Beef Stock (F&S II.48) is one of the ten prints from Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup I series, created in 1968. This edition, like others in the series, transforms an everyday supermarket item into a subject of formal artistic investigation. Warhol’s use of a mechanically reproduced image from mass consumer culture invites viewers to consider the role of branding, standardisation, and the illusion of choice in modern life.

By 1968, Warhol had solidified his role as Pop Art’s leading figure, and his return to the Campbell’s motif signals a deepening of his inquiry into commercial imagery. The soup can—seemingly mundane—becomes a mirror reflecting the repetition and predictability of post-war American consumerism. The print underscores Warhol’s belief that beauty could be found in the ordinary and that art could emerge from systems of industrial replication.

Collectors value this edition for its critical place within one of Warhol’s most enduring themes. This example is offered in excellent condition and is fully authenticated by Coskun Fine Art.
