Kidrobot taps the Andy Warhol Foundation for its new ‘Dunny’ sculptures, which commemorate the artist’s ‘Campbell Soup Cans’ art series. The sculptures, which showcase a Campbell’s Condensed logo on the bunny head and tomato soup on the body, are reminiscent of a soup can but with a more playful and childlike approach. Arriving as a part of a bigger Andy Warhol x Kidrobot series, the ‘Dunny’ sculptures are 20 inches tall and colored teal and yellow.
Made with premium fiberglass, no articulation points, and handpainted designs, the ‘Dunny’ sculptures are the perfect fusion of realism and whimsicality.
The Andy Warhol x Kidrobot 20” Campbell’s Soup Teal Dunny collection can be preordered from the Kidrobot website.
