WARHOL, Andy.
Suzy Stanton’s “On Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup Can” essay
NY: Stable Gallery, 1963.

First edition. Eleven photocopied pages with red “Andy Warhol / Stable Gallery” ink stamp to the verso of last page. In the spring of 1962, art critic Lawrence Alloway showed slides of Warhol’s soup can works to his students at Bennington College, igniting arguments that flared throughout the school. One of his students, Suzy Stanton, wrote a paper for the course, parodying various hypothetical theories and motives that ostensibly led to the paintings. She devised an imaginative scenario in which sixteen students visited Warhol’s studio and recorded their interpretations of the man and his work. In one of Stanton’s fantasized versions, Warhol asks his visitor: “Won’t you come and share my soup with me? I’m just about to have my lunch---or is it breakfast? Or dinner? Oh the time is not important, I always have soup no matter what the hour happens to be.” As the two sit down, Warhol remarks: “I love soup, and I love it when other people love soup, too...You know, when I was little, my mother always used to feed us this kind of soup. But now she’s gone, and sometimes when I have soup I remember her and I feel like she’s right here with me again.” There was a good measure of truth in this. According to Warhol’s brother Paul, their mother habitually served Campbell’s Soup at home, and Andy grew up on the product. Alloway sent a copy of Stanton’s essay to Warhol, who was so enthusiastic about it that he had it photocopied, applied his rubber stamp to the back, and had it distributed as the announcement for his November 1962 show at the Stable Gallery. TOGETHER WITH the other promotional item from this show, a pin-back button featuring a color reproduction of a Campbell’s Soup can printed against a white background, with a red ribbon printing “Andy Warhol” hanging from the button. The paper is held together with a paper clip, else near fine, the button is fine. Suzy’s recontextualized paper is Warhol’s first artist’s book, and falls within the continuum of appropriation art first defined by Duchamp’s “Fountain” to the current total embrace of the form by Richard Prince. An important, though little-known, Warhol rarity. OCLC records only one copy at the Museum of Modern Art in N.Y.C.
