Campbell's Soup Cans II is a work of art produced in 1969 by Andy Warhol as part of his Campbell's Soup Cans series that consists of 250 sets of 10 screenprints. This set is held by several notable museums. It differs from the preceding set of 1968 Campbell's Soup I screenprints and has variations within the series.
Details
Following Campbell's Soup I the prior year, Warhol produced 250 of this 10-piece set of screenprints.[1] Warhol commented on his silkscreens saying "the reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do."[2]
The screenprints were produced in New York City by the Salvatore Silkscreen Company. There are 26 artist's proofs signed in ballpoint pen verso.[3]
