Campbell’s Soup Cans I: Black Bean 44 is a print by Andy Warhol from the artist’s Campbell’s Soup Cans I portfolio made in 1968. The prints are absolute in their color, symmetry, and simplicity. Campbell’s Soup Cans I: Black Bean 44 is part of Warhol’s first of two Campbell’s Soup Can print series, each containing 10 images of different flavors. His second soup portfolio, Campbell’s Soup Cans II, included similar images, but with added illustrations for each flavor. Both series are amongst his most valuable portfolios of all time. As in some of his earliest works, the soup can concept was vital in the popularization of Pop Art.
