Released as a signed version of 50 and unsigned version of 250 in a blue red and white colourway by Pictures on Walls in 2005, Banksy’s Soup Can can trace its inspiration to Andy Warhol’s famous series Campbell Soup Can. Certainly less romantic than the now mythologised Campbell’s soup brand, Banksy opts to use the far less glamorous Tesco Value branding and logo for his work - firmly British and firmly marginalised as fare for the working classes. Taking the idea even further, Banksy, much like Warhol, released the motif in a range of different versions - in this case different colourways instead of flavours. In addition to the main blue, red and white colourway Banksy also released other colourways each consisting of an edition of 10. A total edition of 300 (50 signed and 250 Soup Can unsigned prints) was issued for the different colourways in the series. Soup Can’s total release numbers some 28 colour variations consisting of 10 signed prints in each colour, and totals 280 signed prints in total.
