AW8131 col. A - Campbell's b/w
About the design:
Warhol’s first exhibition came in 1962
at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles.
He displayed his canvases of Cambpell’s
Soup, one canvas for each of the 32
types of Campbell’s soup. Warhol said
“I used to have the same lunch every
day for twenty years, I guess, the same
thing over and over again”.
With these groundbreaking works,
Warhol challenged our way of thinking
about art. Through images of consumer
products such as Campbell’s soup
and movie stars like Marilyn Monroe,
Warhol addressed the changes brought
about in our society through mass
communication and production.
Available in all sizes.

AW8131 col. B - Campbell's red
About the design:
Throughout his life and professional
career, Andy Warhol had an uncanny
ability to see the familiar in an
unexpected way.
At the time in the early 1960s
until his death in 1987, Warhol’s
subject matter was the American
experience, especially the Pop culture,
in which the American consumer
became Warhol’s muse in choosing
everything from soup cans, Brillo
boxes, commercial shipping labels,
and of course, the rich and famous as
the subject matter of his artwork.
Of his trademark method of de-
personalized artistic production,
Warhol declared, “I think everybody
should be a machine.”
Available in all sizes.

AW8252 - Blue Marilyn
About the design:
Silkscreening allowed Warhol to reproduce
the same image many times but with
slight, unpredictable variations.
“My first experiments with screens
were heads of Troy Donahue and Warren
Beatty, and then when Marilyn Monroe
happened to die that month, I got the
idea to make screens of her beautiful
face – the first Marilyns.”
Warhol exploited this process as a
form of pure reproduction that dupli-
cated pictures efficiently and neutrally.
He often directed assistants who actually
executed the silkscreens, and the
assembly-line nature of this process
when it involved multiple screens was
the inspiration for naming his studio
The Factory. Of his trademark method
of depersonalized artistic production,
Warhol declared, “I think everybody
should be a machine.”
Available in all sizes.

AW8028 - Daisies
About the design:
In the early sixties, Warhol created
many works depicting consumer
products, Hollywood starlets and
a highly publicized series depicting
death and disaster in American society,
and so with the Flowers series, War-
hol turned to the most decorative and
abstract subject from this period.
These all over colorful compositions
were exhibited in various orientations
and the silkscreen process flattened
the subjects to create a beautiful painting
that is integrally abstract.
Available in all sizes.

AW8269 - Banana
About the design:
In 1963, Andy Warhol moved into a
new studio in New York City, and called
it “The Factory”. Warhol thought it
would be a good idea for the Factory
to have an in house rock band.
Later, Warhol’s films were projected
on a wall behind the band for
some early Velvet Underground
performances, which then later
became a full show with Warhol’s
avant-garde films showing simultane-
ous with a light show, dancers, and
the Velvet Underground and Nico
providing the music. This became
know as the “the Exploding Plas-
tic Inevitable”, and the Velvets were
soon doing performances across the
country.
In 1966, Warhol produced and
designed the first album of The Velvet
Underground and Nico. The famous
Banana image with Warhol’s stamped
signature on The Velvet’s debut album
cover is one of the most recognized
and revered albums in rock and roll
history.
Available in all sizes.
