Stock (2025)

Warhol painted the soup can. Sixty years later, you don't eat the soup — you trade the company. Same brand, same screen, new product: Campbell's Co, quoted at $28.02.

The can became the chart.

In 1962 Warhol screenprinted the Campbell's soup can — a mass-produced consumer object, hung as art. The work was about consumerism, repetition, and the commodification of image-making itself.

Campbell's is still here. But the thing we consume now isn't the soup — it's the equity. CPB trades on the NASDAQ, and the symbol of consumerism has moved from the shelf to the ticker. Stock keeps Warhol's exact subject and swaps the object: the can becomes the price chart, the brand becomes a quote, $28.02.

Same gesture, sixty years on. The repetition across color is the screenprint; the speculation is the consumerism; the financial abstraction is the product.
