Soup Can (Pink, Emerald, Raspberry) (Signed), 2005
Screen print
19 3/4 x 13 3/4 in 50 x 35 cm
Edition of 10
In the Soup Cans series, Banksy offers a modern reinterpretation of Andy Warhol's iconic artwork, catering to the disillusioned contemporary observer. By portraying a Tesco Value soup can, Banksy satirizes the influence of corporations contributing to wealth inequality and critiques the consequences of the consumerism endorsed by Warhol. The repetition of the soup can image, limited to just one flavor, accentuates the absence of choice associated with poverty. Unlike Warhol's emphasis on various Campbell's soup flavors, Soup Cans by Banksy recurrently presents the title Tomato Soup with a deadpan aesthetic, providing a critical commentary on capitalist society.

Banksy's "Tesco Soup Cans" series (2005-2006) stands as one of the artist's most significant and commercially successful print editions, representing a masterful synthesis of Pop Art heritage and contemporary anti-consumerist critique. This body of work directly references Andy Warhol's iconic Campbell's imagery while subversively replacing the American brand with Tesco Value—Britain's budget supermarket line—transforming the celebration of consumer culture into a pointed commentary on corporate homogenization and class disparity in modern Britain. The series comprises multiple signed screenprints featuring various color combinations, with the original red, white, and blue composition establishing the visual framework that subsequent variations would explore.
The technical execution of these works demonstrates Banksy's sophisticated understanding of the screenprinting medium. Each piece employs vibrant color combinations—from Lilac, Lime, and Blue to Mint, Orange, and Brown—that simultaneously honor Warhol's aesthetic vocabulary while asserting Banksy's distinct visual identity. The 2006 Soup Cans Quad edition on grey paper represents a notable evolution, presenting multiple cans in a single composition that amplifies the serial nature of both mass production and Pop Art methodology. The signed examples from this series are particularly significant, as Banksy's signature substantially enhances provenance and collectibility in an art market where authentication remains paramount.
From a market perspective, the Tesco Soup Cans series occupies a critical position within Banksy's print oeuvre, bridging accessible edition work with serious artistic statement. These pieces have demonstrated consistent appreciation at auction and private sales, appealing to both seasoned contemporary art collectors and those entering the Banksy market. The series' cultural resonance—addressing themes of consumption, branding, and socioeconomic commentary—ensures its continued relevance beyond purely aesthetic considerations. Collectors value these works not only for their visual impact but also for their position within the broader dialogue between street art, Pop Art, and institutional critique.

Banksy is the world’s most celebrated anonymous street artist — a figure whose identity remains unknown but whose visual language is instantly recognisable across continents. Emerging from the Bristol graffiti scene in the early 1990s, Banksy developed a stencil-based technique that allowed rapid, precise execution on walls, bridges, and public surfaces from London and New York to Gaza and the West Bank. His work fuses dark humour, political provocation, and formal rigour in a way that has made him equally at home on the street and in the auction room. Today, Banksy art for sale represents one of the most dynamic and hotly contested segments of the contemporary secondary market.
Banksy art for sale encompasses original spray-painted canvases, unique works on board, signed and unsigned print editions, and — on rare occasions — documented wall works sold with photographic authentication. The breadth of subjects he has addressed is remarkable: consumer capitalism (Tesco Soup Cans, Trolley Hunters), celebrity culture (Kate Moss, Andy Warhol), surveillance and control (Radar Rat, CCTV Watching), and hope and fragility (Girl with Balloon, Fragile).
The benchmark auction event in Banksy’s market history remains the October 2018 Sotheby’s London sale, when Girl with Balloon — having just sold for £1.04 million — was partially shredded by a device concealed in the frame, becoming Love is in the Bin. The reconstituted work subsequently sold in October 2021 for £18.5 million, underscoring the extraordinary commercial power of Banksy’s interventions and the appetite of the global collector base for his most iconic imagery.
Banksy paintings for sale — unique spray-painted works on canvas or board — are the rarest and most valuable category of his output. These works, typically produced in small numbers for specific shows or commissions, carry full documentation from Pest Control and have appeared at auction with results ranging from six to eight figures. Choose Your Weapon, Monkey Parliament, and large-format stencil canvases from his early 2000s output represent the apex of private collector demand.
Provenance is paramount for Banksy paintings. Unbroken ownership history from first sale through to the present day, combined with a current Pest Control certificate, is the minimum standard for any serious acquisition. Works without this documentation carry substantial authentication risk regardless of visual appearance.
Banksy print editions form the most accessible and widely traded category of his market. Published through his own distribution channels and in very limited numbers, these screenprints exist in signed and unsigned variants — a distinction that has a significant impact on value. Signed editions — with Banksy’s hand signature — command multiples of two to five times comparable unsigned editions in the same print run.
Key print series sought by collectors include: Girl with Balloon (multiple colourways), Choose Your Weapon, Kate Moss, Tesco Soup Cans, Fragile, Radar Rat, Flower Thrower, and Di-Faced Tenners. Edition sizes vary from as few as 150 to several hundred, and sell-through rates at auction confirm strong secondary demand across all major series.
Pest Control is Banksy’s official authentication body and the only organisation authorised to certify works as genuine. When you buy Banksy prints or original art, a current Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is the non-negotiable standard. The COA features a torn currency note — half retained by Pest Control, half with the work — as a security measure, and is registered against a specific edition and owner.
At Guy Hepner Gallery, every Banksy work offered for sale is accompanied by Pest Control documentation. We do not offer works without verified authentication, and our team is available to guide collectors through the acquisition process, including condition reporting, framing recommendations, and insurance valuation.
