Remax on a action: London CNN — Two anti-fossil fuel protesters who were filmed throwing tomato soup on Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” in a London gallery Friday have been charged with criminal damage offenses. The two young women from the campaign group Just Stop Oil threw the contents of two tins of Heinz tomato soup over the painting, which, the group said, has an estimated value of $84.2 million. They then glued themselves to the wall beneath the painting at the National Gallery. In a statement posted on Twitter Friday, the gallery confirmed the incident in Room 43, where “Sunflowers” was displayed, and gave an update on its condition. “There is some minor damage to the frame but the painting is unharmed,” it said. In a subsequent tweet, the gallery explained that the painting was glazed and therefore protected.

Campbell's Soup Cans (sometimes referred to as 32 Campbell's Soup Cans) is a work of art produced between November 1961 and June 1962 by American artist Andy Warhol. It consists of thirty-two canvases, each measuring 20 inches (51 cm) in height × 16 inches (41 cm) in width and each consisting of a painting of a Campbell's Soup can—one of each of the canned soup varieties the company offered at the time. The works were Warhol's hand-painted depictions of printed imagery deriving from commercial products and popular culture and belong to the pop art movement.
