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

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

    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 for The International Anthology of Contemporary Engraving: The International Avant-Garde (Vol. 5), a portfolio featuring emerging artists working at the forefront of contemporary printmaking. The composition appropriates an advertisement for an enamel cooking pot, with Warhol dramatically enlarging the bold "77¢" price text. This exaggerated pricing dominates the image, eclipsing the object itself and immediately drawing the viewer's attention. The work demonstrates 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 exceptionally early example of ideas that would define Warhol's career for decades to come. 

     

    The History and Significance of Andy Warhol’s Cooking Pot

    Cooking Pot sits at the very beginning of Warhol’s Pop Art period, created in the same year as his first Campbell’s Soup Can paintings. The work reflects his growing fascination with everyday consumer goods, branding, and repetition, themes that would become central to his artistic identity. Food imagery would remain a recurring motif throughout Warhol’s career, most famously through Campbell’s Soup Can Portfolio I and Campbell’s Soup Portfolio II. In hindsight, Cooking Pot can be seen as the conceptual starting point for this enduring exploration of mass production and consumption.
