The exploration will begin with works by Marcel Duchamp, noting the ways Duchamp’s work paved the way for Warhol’s. It also takes a look at women artists who were creating Pop Art contemporaneously with Warhol and discuss why they did not rise to the same level of fame as Warhol. Setting Warhol’s art in context may help us draw some canny conclusions about what a soup can can or can’t do.
