Banksy’s Soup Can is an obvious nod to Andy Warhol’s famous 1962 series of Campbell’s Soup Can paintings that were later produced as prints. Contrary to Warhol’s homage to the endlessly reproduced images of consumer society, here Banksy offers a biting criticism of the supermarket giant who has come to take over the contemporary marketplace.
The print shows cans of the same flavour soup – as opposed to Warhol’s range of flavours – showing the stark reality and monotony, of surviving on a tight budget.
This work comes with a signature stamp on lower right recto. Sold by Pictures On Walls (POW), the sole / authorised distributor of Banksy prints. This piece comes with the original tube from POW, which includes original POW mailing stamps.
