Creation Place:North America, United States Credit Line:Gift of the Minneapolis Foundation Image Copyright:©Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Accession Number:P.90.28.9 Location:Not on view Warhol once commented on his Campbell's Soup cans, explaining that he liked the subject because he "used to have the same soup lunch every day for twenty years." True or not, Warhol did in fact choose ordinary commercial products as subjects for his art because he was fascinated by the prospect of presenting objects from everyday life that weren't considered beautiful or worthy themes for fine art.
