glad i pulled the trigger as the price has now gone up to $350 from $250 (they're using the same sales method as counter editions)

pull the trigger now before you're priced out all together

[otomi]

really like this one - when do you ever see those colors in an obey print

Great find Ross.

Here's some more info on the new soup cans including pics of the other two, soon to be released colourways:

Yep, pulled the trigger on one at $350. Big thanks Ross, wanted one os these for a long time. I doubt many were available at the original $250, that seems an awesome price!

[T-Bro]

purchased - i m becoming a soup can collector by all accounts!

Hate soup, had it once in India, mulligatawny, spewed ring up. Is Obey the flavour of the month then?, seems v popular recently.

Did Soup can 1 really sell at $2500?

Only the last few, their pricing structure is like counter editions. Price continues to rise as the edition sells out.

Price has gone up to $400 now!

[dh]

Crazy stuff!

[rosstierney]

i was hoping the pink/blue would be released first, with them being £200+ i only wanted the one, but now looks like i'll be gunning for all three (sods law i'll be in glasto when the next one drops)

[kennas]

Todays drop was my favourite one. Going to resist temptation on the others......I hope!

[njr911]

bugger, $400 is steep for an obey

so much I want at the moment and so little cash!

[lalinea]

Saw the price increase, should have bought one right away................... oh well

[Zippy]

I like this and think as a set of 4 hanging on the wall they would look good.

[pezlow]

Quite small too. But a good looking print.

[ecb]

450 now.

[Winter]

Got the first one so had to go for this one too

[lee3]

>>>Quite small too<<<

I'm not a print expert but i have to believe the reason this print is 20x16 inches is because that is the exact size of the Warhol soup cans (and most Warhol compositions). More specifically, that is the size that the original torn pepper pot soup can measured which is the obvious inspiration for this image that Eli Broad famously picked up a couple years ago for around $17M US much to his wife's very public dismay.

$400 FOR ME.............. A CRACKER! Cheers Ross.......

[etched]

when are the other colour-ways being released?

[moleman]

took 3-4 years for that one who knows
some one knew this one was coming out to pay 2.5k for it

[moleman]

i imagine a new one comes out when that one sells out

Say's the next ones are being released soon, they may wait for this one to sell out???

[hlarmy]

I like this but not at the new price of $450 - plus there's a few releases on the horizon that I'd rather save my pennies for ... very nice though

[dh]

Not sure about this price rising rubbish, seems far to Andipa to me.

I still think that is a good price, seeing as this is an all time classic image.

Why didn't I go for it at $250 - just got it at $450 - lovely print - but what a bummer.
(Have a look at my Peter Blakes on the for sale thread - help me out please!)
