Campbell's Soup Cans, 1962
Synthetic polymer paint on thirty-two canvases, Each canvas 20 x 16" (50.8 x 40.6 cm).
Andy Warhol, American, 1928-1987

When Warhol first exhibited Campbell's Soup Cans, sometimes referred to as 32 Campbell's Soup Cans, each one simultaneously hung from the wall like a painting and rested on a shelf like groceries in a store. Each of the thirty two-canvases, measuring 20 inches by 16 inches, corresponds to one of the varieties of soup then sold by the Campbell Soup Company. There is no evidence that Warhol envisioned the canvases in a particular sequence. Here, they are arranged in rows that reflect the chronological order in which they were introduced, beginning with "Tomato" in the upper left, which debuted in 1897. The individual paintings were produced with a semi-mechanized silkscreen process, using a non-painterly style. Repeating the same image at the same scale, the canvases stress the uniformity and ubiquity of the Campbell's can.

For Warhol, a commercial illustrator who became a successful author, painter, and film director, the work was his first one-man gallery exhibition as a fine artist. First exhibited in the Ferus Gallery of Los Angeles, California, it marked the West Coast debut of pop art.

This painting is currently displayed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The Museum was founded in 1929 and is often recognized as the most influential museum of modern art in the world.
