Picture "Soup Can" (2005)

With this signed and numbered screenprint "Soup Can" from the very small edition of only ten copies, the artist quite obviously quotes the oeuvre of Pop Art master Andy Warhol, who became world famous for his Campbell's soup cans. But here, too, Banksy lends the work a critical connotation by using the low-priced house brand of the British supermarket chain Tesco for his composition.
