Campbell's Soup I (sometimes Campbell's Soup Cans I) is a work of art produced in 1968 by Andy Warhol as a derivative of his Campbell's Soup Cans series. 250 sets of these screenprints were made by the Salvatore Silkscreen Company in New York City.
It consists of ten prints each measuring 91.8 by 61.3 centimetres (36.1in ×24.1in).[1] This is one of two 10-piece sets of screenprints that Warhol produced 250 of (the other being Campbell's Soup Cans II the following year).[2] The set is viewed as Warhol's attempt to bring a "highly finished, mechanised look" to the series.[3] The sets were available for purchase at The Factory.[4] Warhol commented on his silkscreens saying "the reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do."[5]
On April 7, 2016, seven Campbell's Soup Cans prints were stolen from the Springfield Art Museum in Springfield, Missouri. The FBI announced a $25,000 reward for information about the stolen art pieces from the "Campbell's Soup I" set.[6] They were a part of 1 of 250 sets of 10 screen prints that Warhol had ordered in 1968, that had been donated to the museum in 1985 (by The Greenberg Gallery in St. Louis) and that were on display for the first time since 2006. Each of the screenprints had an estimated value of $30,000 ($36581 in 2022), according to Artnet author Blake Gopnik.[7] A National Public Radio source estimates that they generally sold for up to $45,000 ($54871 in 2022), but the tomato soup version could sell for $100,000 ($121936 in 2022). They were insured as a set and the insurance company paid $750,000 ($914517 in 2022) once the museum turned over the remaining three screenprints.[8]
In March 2018, Sotheby's sold a set for £849,000.[3]
On November 8, 2022, climate change protesters glued themselves to and vandalised the National Gallery of Australia's version of Campbell's Soup I without damage to the artworks (under glass) or arrests.[9] The protests were intended to direct attention to the issue of fossil fuel subsidies.[10]
Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director, producer, and leading figure in the pop art movement. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).

Two exhibitions in 1962 announced Andy Warhol's dramatic entry into the art world. In July, at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles, he exhibited his now-iconic Campbell's Soup Cans. The work's 32 canvases, each one featuring a different variety of the company's 32 soups, were lined up in a single row on a ledge that wrapped around the gallery. 'Cans sit on shelves,' the gallery director, Irving Blum, later said of the installation. 'Why not?' The paintings marked a breakthrough for Warhol, who had previously worked as a commercial illustrator: they were among his first works based on consumer goods, and among the first to embrace serial repetition. Although he hand-painted each canvas, they were made to seem mechanically produced
