Which artist is famous for his work with Campbells Soup tins?

Campbell's Soup Cans, which is sometimes referred to as 32 Campbell's Soup Cans, is a work of art produced between November 1961 and March or April 1962 by Andy Warhol. It consists of thirty-two canvases, each measuring 20 inches (51 cm) in height × 16 inches (41 cm) in width and each consisting of a painting of a Campbell's Soup can—one of each of the canned soup varieties the company offered at the time.

The individual paintings were produced by a printmaking method—the semi-mechanized screen printing process, using a non-painterly style. Campbell's Soup Cans' reliance on themes from popular culture helped to usher in pop art as a major art movement in the United States.

SOUPer Question

Julie Allen

Can't say his work ever appealed to me but each to his own.

The author of this question should also inform the reader about Warhol's perceptions of society, etc. at the time he painted. True art is not about draftsmanship, it's about expressing one's heart, soul, mind, etc.

...cans, not "tins"...we are not British!

Wayne arrington

Didn't really like his work, but own one. Snob appeal, I guess.

The largest collection of Andy Warhol art in Europe is exhibited at the Museum Brandhorst in Munich.
