Wrapped and stretched on wooden frame. Size: 8 in x 8 in Steven Alan Kaufman, born in Bronx, New York, was Andy Warhol’s assistant at the Factory when he received his nickname and developed the signature “SAK” which adorns his art. Kaufman was a truly great American pop artist that used his art to comment on history and current events. Kaufman significantly advanced the silk screen process and augmented the technique with rich colors and hand embellishment. His art focused on iconic people, historical figures and products used in everyday life. His collections of work focusing on Marilyn Monroe, U.S. and global currencies, celebrities, Warner Brothers and Marvel Comics characters, and other subjects have been included in collections around the world. Kaufman was an activist, involved in hundreds of different charities, and worked closely with young people, often helping them to turn their lives around, passing down the legacy which originated with Andy Warhol to another generation prior to his death at only 49.
