Comes from 'UK' memorabilia

Original Sketch

ANDY WARHOL Original Sketch (Extremely rare ORIGINAL hand drawn and signed sketch from arguably the most influential 'Pop Art' artist of the last forty years. Though primitive in appearance this sketch of a Soup can is drawn on a lined foolscap page in charcoal pencil with his signature inside the can. This would look fantastic framed, and with original pieces of Warhol Art becoming ever scarce this is a superb collectable. This was obtained from one of his agents during the 1980's)**Complete With Certificate Of Authenticity** - **Please See More Info For Further Details**

BACKGROUND ON WARHOLS OBSESSION WITH SOUP CANS
In an interview for the Face magazine in London in 1985, David Yarritu asked Warhol about flowers that Warhol's mother made from tin cans. In his response, Warhol mentioned them as a reason for doing his first tin can paintings:
David Yarritu: I heard that your mother used to make these little tin flowers and sell them to help support you in the early days.
Andy Warhol: Oh God, yes, it's true, the tin flowers were made out of those fruit cans, that's the reason why I did my first tin-can paintings...You take a tin-can, the bigger the tin-can the better, like the family size ones that peach halves come in, and I think you cut them with scissors. It's very easy and you just make flowers out of them. My mother always had lots of cans around, including the soup cans. (FA50)
Although Muriel Latow's suggestion to Warhol that he paint a soup can may have spurred him into action, it was only natural that Warhol would choose an image to paint that he had been surrounded by in his youth. When the art critic G.R. Swenson asked him in 1963 why he painted soup cans, he replied, "I used to drink it, I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years
