Andy Warhol Campbell's Scotch Broth (F & S.II 55) For Sale

Andy Warhol’s Scotch Broth screenprint is a part of his 1969 Campbell’s Soup II Series, where he returned to his iconic and original Campbell’s Soup can I portfolio. Warhol, returns to the motif with relish and a more advanced screen-printing technique. Warhol was able to depict these Soup cans with even more detail, making them as close to the real soup can as possible. In doing so, Warhol is provoking us with a question – what separates a real soup can to a priceless work of art that is replicating it.

Without a question, Warhol had a profound influence on art and culture. He sought to challenge conventional ideas about art and reconsider the fundamental nature of artistic worth with his famous soup cans. Warhol purposefully avoided using conventionally approved artistic subject matter in his artwork because he believed that it would detract from the grandeur of the modern historical moment. Rather, he asked about relevance and authenticity in today's culture. For Warhol, factories, mass production, and industrial society's output represented the core of modern human existence in the clearest possible ways. Rather than seeing them as banal, everyday items, commonplace goods such as the humble Campbell’s soup can had a unique appeal for him, containing as much social notoriety as that of movie stars like Marilyn Monroe.

Leading the Pop Art movement, Warhol's conviction that art ought to be available to all spurred him to transform common objects and imagery to the status of celebrity. "I don't think art should be only for the select few," he famously said, "I believe it ought to be for the majority of Americans”. Warhol's later series, such as Ads, clearly demonstrate his great interest in mass production and business. He saw commonplace commercial goods like Campbell's soup cans, cars, and Coca-Cola as fascinating representations of equality and human success rather than merely everyday objects. At a period when abstract and emotionally charged forms ruled the art world through Abstract Expressionism, Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans got conflicting reactions. Many artists and reviewers were surprised by the brazenly cold and commercial approach, which lacked traditional painting subtleties and emotional depth. Despite early criticism, these paintings endured the test of time and are still among the most influential images in modern art history.
