Andy Warhol Famous Campbell’s Soup Cans

Andy Warhol Campbell Soup Tomato

Campbell’sTomato Soup by Andy Warhol – 1968

We dedicate this Friday’s post to an icon: Andy Warhol.

Did you know how he displayed the paintings on his first one-person exhibition? Here it goes.

Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans transformed him into an overnight sensation when they were first exhibited in Los Angeles in 1962.

It was his first one-person exhibition organized by Irving Blum, the legendary and visionary director of the Ferus Gallery.

The exhibition featured thirty-two “portraits” of soup cans, each identical except for the flavor inscribed on their labels.

These revolutionary paintings were displayed on a small narrow shelf that ran along the wall of the gallery in a way that suggested not only a gallery rail but also the long shelves in a grocery store.

With these works, Warhol took on the tradition of still life painting, declaring a familiar household brand of packaged food a legitimate subject in the age of Post-War economic recovery.

Best Latino Advertising Campaigns 2011

#5 – Campofrio Finisimas: A very original and humorous way of advertising ham.

Finísimas Campofrío humorously bets on the re-incarnation theory on its new advertising campaign. It features two frogs that explain the pros and cons of being human while they jump across a freeway packed with danger. Marcelino is the reincarnation of a government attorney and is highly concerned with his previous life health while his new friend becomes fascinated by the possibilities of being human that he commits suicide against a truck’s windshield. This campaigned broadcasted nationally and had digital, social media and movie theater and international versions.

Young frog: Flies!
Old frog: Flies… ush, bummer!
Young frog: What do you expect? We’re frogs…
Old frog: Frog, speak for yourself, this is my reincarnation, my name is Marcelino, and I used to be a government lawyer.
Young frog: What do you mean, “you were human”?
Old frog: You are born, and they give you a slap in the ass, you need to learn English so you don´t become a “loser”, you control your calories, triglycerides, intestinal transit and kapoom!
Young frog: what a chump!
Young Frog: (If I were a rich man song tone)
If I were a human, I would grow a mane and name myself Brad… To Vegas I would move and I would get a Chinese tattoo even if I don’t know what it means…
If I were a human, I would become the driver of the beach volleyball women’s team from Sweden, creative, hippie, anything not to have to work!
Young frog & Snake: I…would buy a chihuahua, a water bed and a mega ham platter… I would fall in love a looooooot!
(Spanish Guitar sound)
Old frog: Goodbye figure!
VO: You never know what you will be in the next life
Man: Hmmm… and I was living in a Pond!
VO: So take good advantage of this one, Campofrío Finissimas
Pigeon: If I were human…
