Banksy's original four-colour screenprint Soup Cans, is a play on Andy Warhols now infamous Pop Art Campbell's Soup Cans. Banksy has taken the idea that commercial products can be art, as is the Pop Art ethos, but has rendered it in his tongue-in-cheek style with Tesco Value cans of cream of tomato soup. This limited edition screenprint is one of Banksy's most iconic. Four different variations were released. The number of cans featured on the print and their colours vary.
