Asset in focus: Campbell's Soup

Andy Warhol’s Old Fashioned Vegetable from Campbell's Soup II (1969) is a prime example of Warhol's celebrated use of everyday consumer imagery to elevate mundane objects into high art. This color screenprint on wove paper is part of the iconic Campbell's Soup series, which is central to Warhol's exploration of mass production, consumer culture, and the role of art in society. The artwork features one of Warhol’s classic soup can designs, symbolizing the crossover between art and commercialism, a hallmark of his pop art movement.

The Campbell's Soup II series reflects Warhol’s ability to make the ordinary extraordinary, using his characteristic bold colors and graphic style to create instantly recognizable images. This piece, part of a limited edition of 250, is hand-signed by Warhol and stamped on the reverse, adding to its authenticity and collector appeal.

As Warhol’s market continues to soar, especially for works from his Campbell's Soup series, Old Fashioned Vegetable is a sound investment, offering both historical significance and financial promise. Warhol’s prints have consistently shown strong auction results, and this iconic subject matter makes it a particularly desirable addition to any serious collection.
