Among Warhol’s most notable works is his Campbell’s Soup Cans which consists of 32 separate, identically-sized canvasses all depicting different flavours of soup; this piece was created with Warhol’s ‘blotted line’ technique, a rudimentary version of printing that involves applying ink to paper and blotting while still wet in order to capture and reuse the original image.

Warhol was celebrated for his unique techniques – his ‘oxidisation paintings’ were first prepared with a copper paint base, before being urinated on to create the oxidisation effect; such unorthodox techniques inspired younger artists such as

Basquiat on the sculptural work Ten Punching Bags (Last Supper). (
