Iminyaka engamashumi amahlanu kuqhubeke, uWarhol usenza iindaba, hayi ngenxa yento ayenzileyo, kodwa ngenxa yexabiso layo: enye isuphu yango-1962, ayizukuvela kuthotho, yathengiswa nge-11.7 yezigidi zeedola ngo-2006 Ingozi yemoto eluhlaza kuthengiswa nge $ 71.7 yezigidi ngo-2007; Kutshanje iWarhol itshintshe izandla i $ 38 yezigidi (uJerry Saltz, ngokufanelekileyo ngokwaneleyo, ubona amaxabiso akhoyo njengombhobho, kodwa kwelam icala, ndiyakrokrela ukuba iWarhol ibe yindawo yokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba, kwaye neengxaki zobambiso nangona kunjalo, ekuhambeni kwexesha izindlu azisoze ezantsi.) Isuphu ka-Warhol kunye nesuphu engatshatanga yesininzi, emi kwindawo yakhe yonke-yona, ngokutsho kwegcisa ngokwakhe, ayimelanga nto ngaphandle kwendlela ebijongeka ngayo-ngoku inokuthenga naliphi na inani leencoko ezinomdla malunga nobuchwephesha bobugcisa uqoqosho, uhlobo lodumo kunye nokuzithoba okuhlangeneyo kwesenzo sokuqonda. Zonke ezo zinto zinokwenza ukuba kubonakale ngathi yeyokugqibela into yokubonisa isuphu ye-Warhol cans, okwangoku, yimizobo ngokwabo.
Ngo-1965, uWarhol wenza uthotho lwemizobo engama-20 apho athengela khona iindidi ezingama-32 ezantsi ukuya kwitumato elula- hayi ngempazamo isuphu efumanekayo- kodwa endaweni yelebheli emthubi, emhlophe, nebomvu yeCampbell ngomnyama wemibala yetropiki. I-19 yale mizobo isekhona, kwaye ezili-12 kwezili-19 zihlanganisene kwiindonga ezimhlophe kunye ne-aubergine zoBugcisa be-L & M kwi-78th Street.
Ingaziva ngathi kukuzilolonga okwenziweyo, kodwa masizame ukukroba kule mizobo nge-nimbus. Isandla sipeyintwe kwiibhloko ezilayishwe ngaphantsi kokuprintwa kokugqibela kwesikrini, nokuba kumhlophe okanye kumnyama, kuludwe lwenkonkxa kunye nokuqaqanjelwa kwamagama uCampbell's kunye noMPHEFUMLO, basebenzisa isuphu enikiweyo njengesixhobo sokuzama ukuvavanya iingcinga malunga nokudityaniswa kombala. Ithini eluhlaza nebomvu ene-Campbell's emhlophe-mhlophe inokuba sisuphu yokwenene, nangona ingeyiyo; i-orenji kunye nohlaza inokuba yeyona nto inokwenzeka evela eMantla Yurophu; eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nemfusa, kuphela ephupheni. Omnye umzobo usinika umbala obomvu nomhlophe, kodwa obomvu uphelile, umhlophe uyigusha-tyheli egulayo, kwaye imvelaphi iluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-luhlaza. Kwiimeko ezimbini, ngokugcina umbala obomvu ophezulu kunye nokufaka umbala kwi-can's esezantsi kwisiqingatha esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, uWarhol ujika isuphu yetumato ukuba ibhekisele kwiQuaker Oats.
Ezi nkonkxa nazo, ngendlela yazo, zikhohlakele ngakumbi kuneseti ka-1962. Ezopeyinti zokuqala, kunye nokuveliswa kwazo ngokungathandabuzekiyo kweelebheli zokwenyani, zibeke isigqebelo sazo kwisithuba esiphakathi kwelaphu kunye nombukeli, zaza zanyibilikisa amandla ophawu ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Imikhombe yesuphu enemibala, ngokuchaseneyo, ishushumbisa uphawu lwePlatonic yohlobo oludlulileyo kukhuselo lwakho phantsi kokufihla okumangalisayo kokwahluka okuphezulu. Imibala eyahlukeneyo, ulwandiso oluprintwe kwiscreen alusoloko lukhona ngokuchanekileyo, imbasa etyheli yenziwe lula, kwaye ii-fleurs-de-lis emazantsi e-blur zinokufiphala njengoko zihamba zisiya emaphethelweni. Zintle kakhulu ungaphantse ulibale ukuba ujonge ntoni- kodwa into oyinikiweyo yamkelwe ngokungathandabuzekiyo njengenikiweyo.
Ukuba akukho enye into esinokuyenza ngokujonga kwi-nimbus, ubuncinci sinokungavumi ukuthatha le isuphu. Ewe kunjalo, enye into enokwenzeka kuwe phambi kwe- UMona Lisa kukuba nokuba uyaphumelela ekubeni namava obuqu ayinyani, akunakulindeleka ukuba ucinge nantoni na malunga nayo engakhange icingwe kangangezihlandlo eziphindwe ngesigidi ngaphambili. Kodwa ukusebenzisa ukuqikelela ukubonelela ngento engekhoyo ngamava ekwabelwana ngawo, ngapha koko, yeyona nto iphambili yesuphu enophawu, kwaye yile nto uyijongileyo.
