About this work

Andy Warhol's Consommé Beef Soup Can signed screen print, part of his Campbell's Soup Can print portfolio, represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Pop art and Warhol's own artistic career. Created in 1968 as part of a limited edition portfolio, this particular piece encapsulates Warhol's fascination with mass-produced consumer goods and his innovative approach to art-making.Warhol's Consommé Beef Soup Can screen print is a striking rendition of the iconic Campbell's Soup label. The image is rendered with crisp lines and bold colors, capturing the essence of the original packaging. By isolating the image of the soup can and enlarging it to a monumental scale, Warhol transforms a mundane object into a powerful symbol of contemporary culture.What sets this print apart is Warhol's signature, which adds a layer of authenticity and value to the artwork. Warhol's decision to sign each print in the portfolio marks a departure from his earlier works, which often questioned the traditional notions of authorship and originality. In this instance, Warhol's signature serves as a stamp of approval, elevating the print from a mere reproduction to a unique work of art.The Consommé Beef Soup Can print is also significant for its inclusion in Warhol's larger exploration of consumerism and the commodification of art. By appropriating images from popular culture, such as the Campbell's Soup can, Warhol blurred the boundaries between high and low art, challenging the elitist notions of taste and value prevalent in the art world at the time.Moreover, the Consommé Beef Soup Can print exemplifies Warhol's mastery of the silk-screening process. The technique allowed him to reproduce images with remarkable precision and consistency, mirroring the mechanical processes of mass production that he sought to emulate and critique in his work.Today, Warhol's Consommé Beef Soup Can signed screen print remains an iconic symbol of his artistic vision and enduring influence on contemporary art. It serves as a testament to Warhol's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, while simultaneously raising questions about the nature of art, consumerism, and the role of the artist in society.

Andy Warhol Campbell's Soup I Prints For Sale

Series Performance & Market Position

Campbell's Soup I (1968) is one of the most recognized print portfolios in the history of American art—and one of the most actively traded. Complete sets of all ten screenprints have achieved $200,000–$400,000 at major auction, while individual prints trade in the $15,000–$60,000 range depending on subject, condition, and edition details. The Tomato and Black Bean variants consistently lead individual print sales; less common soup varieties attract specialist collectors willing to pay premiums for completeness. Market liquidity is exceptional by blue-chip print standards.

Technical & Historical Context

Published in 1968 by Factory Additions, Campbell's Soup I comprises ten screenprints on white paper, each measuring 35 × 23 inches, in an edition of 250 plus artist's proofs. The portfolio followed Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) by six years—by which point the image had already entered global visual culture—but the 1968 prints represent Warhol's most technically refined treatment of the subject. The Factory Additions imprimatur, the large format, and the edition discipline (250 is small by Pop Art standards) combine to produce a portfolio with genuine institutional credibility alongside strong retail demand.

Individual Works & Collector Preferences

Within the ten-print portfolio, collector hierarchy is clear:

  • Tomato — the archetypal image; highest individual print demand
  • Black Bean — strong secondary market presence
  • Cream of Mushroom — crossover appeal to food/design collectors
  • Less common varieties (Pepper Pot, Scotch Broth, etc.) — lower individual liquidity but essential for complete-set assembly

Collectors acquiring for investment typically target either a complete set (maximum institutional appeal, estate planning value) or the top three individual subjects (maximum liquidity, easier placement). Single mid-tier prints are appropriate for collectors focused on the Warhol narrative at accessible price points.

Authentication & Condition Considerations

Campbell's Soup I is among the most frequently forged works in the Warhol market. Authentication requirements:

  • Factory Additions blind stamp — present on all legitimate impressions; absence is disqualifying
  • Edition number and signature — hand-signed and numbered in pencil; signature consistency should be verified against authenticated comparables
  • Ink registration — authentic impressions show precise registration; forgeries frequently exhibit slight misalignment
  • Paper condition — original Lenox Museum Board; unauthorised editions used inferior stock
  • Provenance — gallery receipts, auction records, or estate documentation from the original 1968 release through present ownership are strongly preferred

Third-party authentication from recognised Warhol specialists is standard for transactions above $25,000.

Investment Analysis & 2026 Acquisition Strategy

Campbell's Soup I is one of the few Warhol print series that functions simultaneously as cultural artifact, decorative object, and liquid financial asset. Secondary market depth is genuine—major auction houses schedule dedicated Warhol print sales, and dealer networks maintain active inventory. For 2026, the acquisition case is built on three factors: (1) continued global demand for canonical American Pop Art with no geographic ceiling; (2) the 1968 portfolio's relative accessibility compared to unique works and early paintings; (3) the edition of 250 providing sufficient supply for active trading while remaining genuinely finite. Complete sets acquired below $250,000 in current market conditions represent strong positioning against anticipated appreciation through the decade.

About Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol prints for sale and Andy Warhol paintings for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York. Our inventory spans screenprints, silkscreens, and unique works across his most collected series: Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup, Mao, Flowers, Myths, Ads, Cowboys and Indians, Dollar Signs, Cars, and Reigning Queens — all with full provenance and Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné references. We also acquire Warhol. Contact our team for a free valuation.

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) is the defining figure of American Pop Art and the most commercially traded artist of the twentieth century. Born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh to Slovak immigrant parents, he rose from commercial illustrator to the architect of a cultural movement that permanently dissolved the boundary between fine art and mass media. His Manhattan studio, The Factory, became the epicentre of New York art and celebrity culture from the early 1960s until his death in February 1987.

Andy Warhol Art For Sale

Andy Warhol art for sale spans an extraordinary range of subjects, media, and price points — from intimate drawings and unique canvas paintings to large signed editions. His signature subjects include Campbell's Soup Cans, Marilyn Monroe, Mao Zedong, Dollar Signs, Flowers, Reigning Queens, Cowboys and Indians, the Ads portfolio, and the late Cars and Endangered Species series. Each body of work reflects his obsessive engagement with repetition, celebrity, and commodity culture.

The market benchmark for Warhol was set in May 2022 when Shot Sage Blue Marilyn (1964) sold at Christie's New York for $195 million — the highest price ever achieved at auction for an American artwork. Recent print sales confirm sustained institutional demand: Mao editions achieved $4,648,000 each at Christie's in May 2025; Flowers editions achieved $4,076,000 and $3,832,000 at Sotheby's in the same season.

Andy Warhol Paintings For Sale

Andy Warhol paintings for sale — unique acrylics and silkscreens on canvas — represent the rarest and most valuable tier of his output. Subjects produced in multiple unique variations include Flowers, Skulls, Shadows, Dollar Signs, and the late Oxidation Paintings. The Rorschach series (1984) and Camouflage works appeal strongly to institutional collectors. Abstract Expressionism paintings from the late 1970s and early 1980s remain undervalued relative to his iconic print series and represent a compelling collecting opportunity.

Andy Warhol paintings require substantial documentation: exhibition history, gallery receipts, and provenance tracing to The Factory or first-generation dealers. Prices range from mid-five figures for works on paper to eight figures for major canvas paintings. Our team can advise on current pricing and condition assessment across all painting categories.

Andy Warhol Prints For Sale

Warhol's screenprints represent the most accessible and widely collected segment of his output. Andy Warhol prints for sale range from early unsigned offset lithographs to hand-signed, numbered editions produced with Castelli Graphics, Factory Editions, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. Signed, numbered editions from key series — Marilyn Monroe (1967), Flowers (1970), Mao (1972), Ads (1985), Endangered Species (1983), Cowboys and Indians (1986), and Reigning Queens (1985) — command the strongest collector demand and the deepest secondary market liquidity.

Condition, provenance, and edition size are the critical variables. Works printed on Lenox Museum Board or high-grade rag paper with consistent registration and original colouration are the most desirable. Fading, foxing, or retouching materially affects value.

Andy Warhol Cars Prints For Sale

The Cars portfolio (F.S. II.356–362), produced in 1985 as a commission from Mercedes-Benz to mark the centenary of the automobile, stands among the most refined of Warhol's late print series. Ten screenprints on Lenox Museum Board render historic Mercedes-Benz models in Warhol's characteristic flat colour and photographic silkscreen technique — his iconic commercial sensibility applied to the history of industrial design. Signed and numbered in editions of 100, with separate artist's proofs, the Cars series regularly achieves $25,000–$75,000 per impression and commands significant premiums when offered as complete portfolios.

Andy Warhol Late Paintings and Works on Paper

Warhol's production in the final decade of his life — broadly 1978 to 1987 — encompasses some of his most conceptually ambitious work. The Knives series (1981–82), Guns series (1981–82), and Crosses (1981–82) form a trilogy of loaded American objects rendered in the same neutral Pop vocabulary he had applied to Soup Cans twenty years earlier. The Boots and Dollar Bills paintings sit alongside late unique canvases from the Camouflage series (1986–87) and the haunting Last Supper paintings completed weeks before his death. Works from this period are systematically underrepresented in collector awareness relative to their importance to the broader catalogue and represent genuine long-term collecting opportunities.

Andy Warhol Self Portrait Prints For Sale

Andy Warhol self portrait prints are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — a subject he returned to from 1966 to 1986. The most collected examples include:

  • Self Portrait F.S. II.7 (1966) — the iconic fist-to-chin composition in vivid Pop colourways
  • Self Portrait F.S. II.12–22 (1978) — nine large-format prints; auction results regularly $80,000–$250,000
  • Self Portrait with Fright Wig (1986) — produced a year before his death; widely regarded as his definitive late statement
  • Camouflage Self Portrait F.S. II.316 (1986) — the artist dissolved into his own imagery

Self portrait prices range from $18,000 for early unsigned screenprints to $400,000+ for the 1978 and 1986 signed works in excellent condition. Authentication requires reference to the Feldman & Schellmann catalogue raisonné and, where applicable, a former Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board certificate.
