Amazon.com Review
Soup, anyone? Rosenthal's Andy Warhol line of high-end porcelain and glass giftware brings the artist's 1960s classic pop icons to renewed life. The Campbell's Soup collection adapts the primary colors and bold graphics of Warhol's soup cans onto functional items, such as this 9-ounce mug, and they become coveted works of art in themselves. Two slightly different mug patterns are available; when two of the different mugs are stacked, a complete image is formed. The colorful soup-can graphics completely saturate the outside of the mug, while the inside and playfully curved handle remain glossy white. Rosenthal, one of Germany's most prestigious porcelain manufacturers, demonstrates an impressive interest in art and design and has collaborated for decades with well-known artists. Other Warhol gift collections by Rosenthal include Empire, which employs Warhol's black-and-white city photos, and Marilyn, based on his startlingly colored silk-screens of Marilyn Monroe. Each piece comes packaged in an Andy Warhol box and should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
A well-known design adorns the most recent Andy Warhol collectors' series: The Campbell's soup tins. According to Warhol he was commissioned by an art dealer in 1961 to paint a picture of the thing that meant most to him. Using templates, Warhol then began producing images of coins and soup tins by the American company Campbell's ¿ an endeavour which was to pay for his meal tickets for many years to come.
