The 'Campbell's' series is one of Andy Warhol's best-known icons. The original 32 canvases, each depicting a different Campbell's soup variety, were painted in 1962 after a friend's suggestion to paint something that everybody recognised. When the canvases were first exhibited at Fergus Gallery in Los Angeles, the reception was mostly of indifference or disdain. However, the collective power of the paintings was immediate and the gallerist Irving Blum immediately bought back the five paintings that he'd sold upon realising they functioned best as a group. Warhol went on to reinterpret these paintings as screenprints to better achieve the meticulously finished appearance. This technique also finalised his desire to remove all traces of the artist's hand from the artwork.
