While initially it was a commercial flop, in a short period of time the work would become an icon for the entire Pop Art movement and the artist himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater that year, Warhol would begin working with screenprinting, which both mechanized and revolutionized his art practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Warhol began to create soup cans in neon colors. In conjunction for an exhibit at the Institute of Fine Arts (Boston), he produced a limited number of silkscreen shopping bags with his beloved Campbell's soup in bold neon anchored by the company logo in royal blue and grape purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shopping bag became the perfect symbol of the intersection between high culture and Pop Art, between consumerism and connoisseurship, and between scarcity and ubiquity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can't be emphasized enough how vital and groundbreaking the mid 60s were for the artist. In addition to the Soup Cans, he also introduced images of (a recently deceased) Marilyn Monroe, singlehandedly reviving the genre of portraiture. He also began producing films and promoting The Velvet Underground. Needless to say, this era was his creative zenith.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result of all this activity, this work is highly sought-after by collectors as it is one of the only \"affordable\" works from the mid 60s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work can be found in numerous public collections including the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/collection\/works\/7353?locale=en\" title=\"Andy Warhol Soup Can MoMA\"\u003eMoMA (NYC)\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nortonsimon.org\/collections\/browse_title.php?id=P.1969.071\" title=\"Warhol Soupcan at the Norton Simon Museum\"\u003eNorton Simon Museum\u003c\/a\u003e (California) amongst others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003ca href=\"mailto:troy@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e or call +1.416.704.1720\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScreenprint in colors on paper shopping bag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA, 1966\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24\"H 17\"W (work)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e31\"H 26.5\"W (Framed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeldman \u0026amp; Schellmann II.4a\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andy Warhol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48344178852076,"sku":"05-16x2-11-16x3-03-17x4-05-17x4-06-19x05-24x06-25x09-25","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/2712\/files\/Caviar20_Andy-Warhol-Campbell_s-Soup-Bag_01.jpg?v=1789076504","url":"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/products\/andy-warhol-soup-can-bag-silkscreen-1968","provider":"Caviar20","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
