About this work
This intimate acrylic painting presents a meticulous recreation of Andy Warhol's iconic Campbell's Soup Can series, specifically depicting a can of clam chowder. Executed on a diminutive canvas measuring just six and three-quarter by five and one-eighth inches, Pettibone captures Warhol's commercial aesthetic with remarkable fidelity. The work reproduces the bold typography, red and white color scheme, and flat graphic quality that defined Pop Art's most recognizable imagery, while its reduced scale transforms the familiar icon into a precious object. Pettibone's appropriation practice interrogates authorship, originality, and value in contemporary art. By signing his name alongside Warhol's title and date, he creates a conceptual layering that questions the nature of artistic identity itself. This 1987 work exemplifies Pettibone's prescient engagement with postmodern strategies that would dominate subsequent decades. For collectors, it offers both art historical significance and visual charm, representing a crucial bridge between Pop Art and appropriation movements.

About the Auction Results Series
Richard Pettibone's Auction Results series showcases the artist's distinctive appropriation practice, featuring meticulously crafted reproductions of canonical 20th-century masterworks. This curated collection spans iconic pieces by Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, and Piet Mondrian, capturing pivotal moments in modern and pop art history.
Pettibone's technique involves painstaking recreation of celebrated works, often at intimate scales, challenging conventional notions of originality and artistic value. The series documents auction-landmark pieces including Warhol's seminal Campbell's Soup canvas and his portrait of Elvis, alongside Lichtenstein's graphic abstractions and Mondrian's geometric compositions.
Created during a period of intense market speculation and institutional canonization of pop art, these works offer collectors unique insight into how Pettibone deconstructed and recontextualized art historical significance. Each piece functions as both homage and critique, elevating the conversation around reproduction, authenticity, and artistic legacy.
The Auction Results series remains essential for collectors interested in conceptual art, institutional critique, and the evolving dialogue between appropriation and originality. Available for purchase or enquire for current availability and provenance details.
