Item #SKB-17509
The poster features Warhol's color illustration of a Campbell's "Pepper Pot Soup" can, and the show was devoted to Warhol's 1968 edition of "Soup Cans" silkscreens printed by Salvatore Silkscreen Co., and published by Factory editions. Blum and Warhol had an important relationship dating from 1962 when Blum presented Warhol's first solo pop art exhibition at his Ferus Gallery featuring 32 of Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can paintings. This important 1969 exhibition showcased, at the peak of Warhol's pop art notoriety, his continuing involvement with this iconic image. A fine, fresh copy (a couple of infinitesimal marks from printing process). Measures 17" x 11". Scarce, especially in this condition.
