    Andy Warhol Cooking Pot (F & S II.1)

    Andy Warhol's Cooking Pot (F&S II.1) created in 1962 is one of the most historically significant prints of his career and is widely recognised as Warhol's first catalogued print. Produced at a pivotal moment in his transition from commercial illustration to fine art, Cooking Pot marks the very beginning of his Pop Art printmaking practice created in the same year as his first Campbell's Soup Can paintings. Highly sought after by collectors, Cooking Pot sits at the foundation of Warhol's enduring fascination with consumer culture, mass production, and advertising imagery. As an early and particularly scarce work, it occupies an important position within the market for Andy Warhol prints.

  • About Andy Warhol’s Cooking Pot

    Produced in 1962, Cooking Pot is notable as Andy Warhol's first released print and the earliest entry in the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné. The image was created specifically for a portfolio featuring emerging artists working at the forefront of contemporary printmaking, titled 'The International Anthology of Contemporary Engraving: The International Avant-Garde (Vol. 5)'. 

     

    The composition cleverly and cannily appropriates an advertisement for an enamel cooking pot, with Warhol dramatically enlarging the "77¢" price into bold text. This exaggerated pricing dominates the image, eclipsing the object itself and immediately drawing the viewer's eye to the value. The work exemplifies Warhol's instinctive understanding of the visual language of advertising and his early use of found commercial imagery. Rendered in monochrome, Cooking Pot is an early example of ideas that would define Warhol's career for decades to come.
