Overall good condition

During the 1960s Andy Warhol (1928 – 1987) began to explore the iconic status of everyday objects such as his images of Campbell's soup cans and his portraits of such notable personalities as Marilyn Monroe. This is the artist's most famous image which defined both the artist and the pop movement. In 1981, Warhol had a print retrospective at Leo Castelli Gallery, the legendary gallery that represented all the important pop artists in addition to Warhol, such as Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg.
