Tomato Soup (F&S II.46) is arguably the most recognisable image in Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup I portfolio. First introduced as a subject in his 1962 painting series, tomato soup marked Warhol’s entry into Pop Art and laid the foundation for his artistic legacy. The choice of such a banal, ubiquitous item was both deliberate and radical, elevating a supermarket staple into a work of high art.

Warhol’s fascination with consumer products stemmed from his desire to mirror the values of a post-war America increasingly defined by mass production, advertising, and uniformity. The Campbell’s label, designed for consistency across millions of cans, provided Warhol with the perfect symbol of sameness and repetition. By reworking it through silkscreen printing, he both mimicked and critiqued industrial processes, turning visual repetition into a conceptual strategy.

This edition is a centrepiece of the portfolio and remains one of Warhol’s most collected and referenced works. It encapsulates his interest in how familiar imagery gains meaning through endless reproduction. Offered in excellent condition and with full documentation, this print is available at Coskun Fine Art with guaranteed authenticity.
