Andy Warhol: Campbell’s Soup Can Plate (Turquoise/Purple)
Made from Limoges porcelain in France, this plate features a detail from one of Andy Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Can paintings from 1965.
When asked why he chose to paint Campbell’s soup cans, Warhol offered a deadpan reply: “I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years, I guess, the same thing over and over again.” By imitating the familiar aesthetics of consumer goods, mass media, advertising, and celebrity culture, Warhol blurred the boundaries between his work and the world that inspired it, producing images that have become as pervasive as their sources.
