Our expert's notes

A "Tesco's Soup Cans" print by Banksy, b. 1974? -
This piece is an imitation of Andy Warhol's classic and instantly recognisable pop artwork "Campbell's Soup Cans". Banksy made his characteristically idiosyncratic adaptations by rendering the cans in Tesco packaging and labelling everyone as simply Tomato soup. Experts have interpreted this, combined with the branded packaging, as a critique of capitalism.
This is an offset lithograph on poster paper, published by Pictures on Walls.
Dimensions: 84 cm x 59.5 cm (33" x 23.5")
About the Artist:
Arguably the most famous individual in street art, Banksy is an anonymous British artist whose work has gained international fame. Not only does his art spark frequent conversations, but the artist's identity remains a subject of speculation. He is predominantly known for commenting on social and political issues, with dark humour usually incorporated. Banksy's iconic street art is often achieved using spray paint and stencils, but he also has used other mediums, including creating his own currency and modifying street signs.
