The artwork, titled “Campbell’s Soup Can (Old Fashioned Vegetable),” was created by Andy Warhol in 1969. It belongs to the Pop Art movement and is categorized within the still life genre.
The artwork features a meticulous depiction of a Campbell’s Condensed Soup can, specifically the “Old Fashioned Vegetable” variety, rendered with striking attention to brand details and color. The can is illustrated with a predominantly red and white label, characteristic of the recognizable Campbell’s design, which is accentuated by bold red lettering and gold embellishments. The top section of the can prominently displays the brand name “Campbell’s” in elegant, cursive script. Beneath the brand name, the label identifies the soup as “Condensed” and “Old Fashioned Vegetable,” further detailed by noting it contains “Made with Beef Stock.” The aesthetic precision and lifelike representation exemplify Warhol’s iconic style, transforming a mundane, commercial product into an emblematic piece of contemporary art.
