Considered one of the top “pop” artists in the world, Steve Kaufman’s silk-screened canvases should instantly bring to mind the work of the most famous pop artist of all time, Andy Warhol. This is no coincidence. For the better part of a decade, the young Kaufman was a friend and apprentice of the great Warhol, gaining such trust from both the artist and his supporters that Kaufman finished a number of Warhol’s incomplete commissions after his passing.
Presented is Kaufman’s double Red Bull collage art featuring Marilyn Monroe. Coca-Cola made Kaufman remove the LOGO from any other paintings after this series. He did not finish the entire 50 canvas’ supposed to have been within the series. There were only a few that slipped on through past Coca-Cola. This one was in safekeeping with his manager.
