Modern and Contemporary Art

Note

The present owner of this signed Campbell's Noodle Soup Box was an employee at the Campbell Soup Company when the company comissioned Andy Warhol to create a series of paintings of their dry-mix soups. The Campbell's Soup Box painting was unveiled at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York in the autumn of 1985, which Warhol wrote about in his diary: “The Campbell’s soup people loved the painting, the pink one of the soup box.” [1] At the Whitney event, the owner met Warhol, who signed one of the original soup boxes, which has remained in their collection ever since.
