Tomato Soup Shopping Bag (Andy Warhol)
#5210
Andy Warhol silkscreen print shopping bag, produced in conjunction with the exhibition 'Shopping: A Century of Art and Consumer Culture' at Tate Liverpool, 20th December 2002- 23rd March 2003. Printed by King & McGaw with authorisation of the Andy Warhol Foundation and DACS.
This shopping bag is very rare ephemera surviving from the iconic exhibition. The shopping bags produced for Tate Liverpool were inspired by the 1964 Pop Art exhibition, 'American Supermarket', which featured Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and other Pop artists. The exhibition was designed to resemble a real supermarket, complete with shelves, aisles and a checkout counter. Artworks were displayed alongside the commercial items they depicted, blurring the line between art and consumption. The artists printed mass-produced shopping bags to accompany the show.
Framing details: This print comes in a fully archival bespoke frame selected by our designers. The artwork is float-mounted on archival 100% cotton core mount in a black hand-stained ash frame recessed with cotton core fillet and UV cast acrylic glazing.
