In this episode, we'll be visiting Andy Warhol's 1968 Oyster Stew Soup at the Gallery of Modern Art Glasgow in Scotland. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.

When queried by art critic G. R. Swenson in 1963 about his fascination with soup cans, Warhol responded succinctly. "Many a midday, my mother would crack open a can of Campbell's for me, it was all we could afford back then. Even now, I cherish it." This piece, a printed image on paper, likely belongs to a series of 250. Warhol famously remarked, "I used to consume it, it was my daily ritual for two decades." Campbell's Soup Cans stands as Warhol's defining masterpiece, emblematic of the Pop Art movement. This piece has recently been removed from the gallery, quite controversially to allow space for other work.
