“In the wide range of Warhol’s motifs, he never exploited another object with such fervour. For Warhol, the soup can was what the Mont Sainte-Victoire was for Cézanne: an inexhaustible well from which he could draw his aesthetic repertory, his theory of perception, and his artistic concept.”
Rainer Crone and Petrus Graf Schaesberg, 'The Three Golden Rules of an Artist', in: Exh. Cat., New York, Gagosian Gallery, Pop Art: The John and Kimiko Powers Collection, 2001, p. 89
