BANKSY, SOUP CAN (SAGE/LIME/CHERRY), SIGNED SCREEN PRINT EDITION OF 10, 2005
Banksy’s original four-colour screenprint, Soup Can, is a play on Andy Warhol's now-infamous Pop Art Campbell’s Soup Cans. What Banksy has done is taken the idea that commercial products can be art, as is the Pop Art ethos, but has appropriated it within his own cultural context and ironic style as a Tesco tomato soup can - slightly less romantic than the nostalgia we now associate with Campbell’s.
The limited edition screen print is one of Banksy’s most iconic and came in four different variations (the number of cans featured on the print, and their colours vary). Originally released in 2005 the original was a single Soup Can. The edition was of 250 unsigned screen prints. This Soup Can features a single can and the original blue-red-white colour palette.
The unsigned Soup Can screen print is available to purchase through MyArtBroker.

ABOUT BANKSY
Banksy is undoubtedly the world’s most sought-after and talked about street artist, his work represents his political and social commentary on the world, and has appeared on city walls throughout it – from London to New York, from Jamaica to the Gaza Strip.
Banksy is not only known for his high profile murals, he has been releasing limited edition prints for many years, produced in various formats, including signed and unsigned works, as well as artist proofs and gift prints. However, only a very select number of people know exactly what the elusive street artist creates and how many he releases. Some editions, for example, are only made available to VIPs, collectors and friends of Banksy’s who are part of the much-coveted inner circle. This has only made the demand for his limited edition silkscreen prints and artists proofs in circulation, grow in popularity year on year. Learn more about street artist Banksy.
