Catalogue Note

Campbell's Soup Can Over Coke Bottle is a wonderful combination of two of Warhol's most emblematic sources for his early paintings based on commercial objects and products. This work comes from the collection of Mary Moore Denison of Detroit whose passion for the arts began with  her educational experience at the Kingswood School Cranbrook. Mrs. Denison was involved with the school for over 50 years, and at The Cranbrook Academy of Art, she was for over three decades an officer and member of the Board of Governors and the Womens Committee. As a civic leader, Mrs. Denison was involved in many Detroit organizations, including The Detroit Institute of Arts, where she was a Trustee Emeritus and board member of the Founders Society, the Friends of Modern Art, the Junior Council and the Modern Decorative Arts Committee. Her roles in the larger community also included Artistic Director of the Detroit Artist Market, Director of Detroit Focus Gallery, and co-founder and board member of the Meadowbrook Art Gallery. Mrs. Denison met Warhol when she accompanied Leo Castelli and the Detroit dealer Franklin Siden to the artist's studio.
