Description
This lot consists of an ink and watercolor illustration on paper, done in the Pop Art style of Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987). "Andy Warhol" is inscribed with ink at bottom. At top left, the logo and letterhead of famed New York nightclub, Studio 54, can be seen. This modern image depicts a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, done in shades of grey, red, and turquoise blue. Campbell's soup cans just like these were repeated countless times throughout Warhol's body of work. This unframed piece measures approximately 12.25" x 8.25".
Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987) was a leader of contemporary art, which solidified the way that we now visualize the mid-century American era, its faces, and its mass culture. Warhol was a producer, director, printmaker, and illustrator who hailed from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From his beginnings in the commercial art world, Warhol held a firm grasp of popular image and advertising power. By the time of his death in 1987, Warhol's name would become synonymous with the Banana Factory, Studio 54, Campbell's Tomato Soup, and, most succinctly, Pop Art.
