Rooted in Andy Warhol’s groundbreaking embrace of consumer imagery, Campbell’s Soup – Vegetable (FS II.48) (1968) turns an ordinary pantry label into a defining Pop Art statement. Measuring 35 × 23 inches, this screenprint is signed and numbered in ballpoint pen and belongs to an edition of 250. Its crisp commercial aesthetic, cultural resonance, and clear edition details make it a compelling work for collectors of postwar art.
Campbell’s Soup – Vegetable (FS II.48) emerged from Andy Warhol’s landmark Campbell’s Soup series, first shown at Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962. By presenting a familiar supermarket label as fine art, Warhol transformed an everyday object into a symbol of American consumer culture, repetition, branding, and mass production. There is no street-graffiti version because Warhol’s practice was rooted in painting, photography, and screen printing rather than street art.
For collectors, FS II.48 benefits from the lasting strength of the Campbell’s Soup market. Warhol’s soup-can images remain among his most recognizable works, with rarity, edition, condition, and provenance shaping value and demand. Its instantly identifiable subject gives it strong blue-chip appeal.
From our gallery perspective, the genius is in the restraint. Warhol removed the need for a grand subject and made the supermarket shelf part of art history.
The work belongs to Warhol’s breakthrough Pop period, alongside the other Campbell’s Soup varieties, Brillo Boxes, and later consumer-brand imagery. For collectors, Vegetable offers a compelling mix of cultural recognition, historical importance, and enduring investment potential.
