'Hot Dog Bean' belongs to Andy Warhol’s important Campbell’s Soup II portfolio, a continuation of his iconic engagement with mass-produced consumer imagery. Executed in 1969 as a screenprint, the work isolates a single soup flavour, transforming a familiar commercial label into a bold emblem of Pop Art’s fascination with repetition, branding, and American consumer culture. The crisp graphic composition and mechanical printing process underscore Warhol’s deliberate rejection of traditional notions of authorship and originality.
