In the Saleroom: Andy Warhol's
Campbell's Elvis
, 1962
<p>Andy Warhol's <em>Campbell's Elvis</em>, 1962, sold for $1,482,500 at the 10 November Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale in New York. It is the first painting in which he superimposed two of his most iconic images onto a single canvas. He chose to combine a Campbell's soup can with repeated images of Elvis Presley, joining two major themes that dominated his career: consumer culture's growth and celebrity's power. This is also one of Warhol's first silkscreened canvases. (RT: 1:54)</p>
