ANDY WARHOL CAMPBELL'S SOUP CANS
9 July - 19 September, 2011
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is arguably one of the most famous artists in the world and his works—including commercial drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, and films — are among the most recognizable. His Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) is perhaps the most emblematic representation of Warhol's work and also of American pop art. This installation of Warhol's 32 soup-can paintings opens on the 49th anniversary of the original exhibition of the paintings at Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles — Andy Warhol's first solo exhibition — and pays tribute to the significant role played by the gallery in the development of postwar L.A. art and also to its revered director Irving Blum.
