Before you do your food shopping this week let me ask you a question. Are you planning on buying tomato soup? If so, you could bring home some Andy Warhol for your pantry.
Campbell‘s announced Wednesday that a new limited-edition line of Warhol-themed condensed tomato soup cans will go on sale starting Sept. 2 at most Target stores across the country.
These cost 75 cents each and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Warhol’s first paintings of the familiar soup cans.
The soup will come in a variety of intensely colored cans meant to mimic Warhol’s pop-art style. The artist exhibited his soup-can paintings in 1962, and they became his signature works.
Campbell’s said the new cans are being sold in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation, which controls the licensing of the artist’s name and images.
