Condition: Mint condition and one of the pieces we picked up when we bought out Kaufman's former manager.   These pieces came directly from Paul Hayeland and include the original certificate of authenticity.  The condition is mint as you can see.  For framing we spared no expense to give our buyers the best possible presentation of these pieces.  We have adopted a 3m solution that allows us a reversible hard mount that leaves no residue should you decided to take it out of its frame and go the stretch version.  This gives the pieces an almost oil on board appearance with no sag in the future that often happens with screen prints.   The mount is done with a reversible glue that leaves no residue behind and won't harm the signature on the back.  Our customers have been blown away with this framing technique and have sent others from their collections to have them mounted the same way.

Steve Kaufman is one of the most influential pop artists in U.S. history. His work appreciated for both its technical merit and its historical importance in pushing the pop art movement forward. Steve Kaufman single handedly transformed pop art from a discipline focused on ordinary object to art with social relevance.  Even by artist standards, Steve Kaufman was an extremely precocious child. He held his first art show at his synagogue when he was only 8 years old, and works from that show are now hanging in the Jewish Holocaust Memorial in Brooklyn, New York. At age 12, Kaufman achieved his first commercial success when he was commissioned to paint custom pet rocks for the New York City Macys department store. Kaufman continued to experience success selling his art during his teens before enrolling in the famous New York institution the Parsons School of design.

Steve Kaufman met the American pop art pioneer Andy Warhol at Studio 54 in New York City. The two soon developed a friendship and working relationship where Kaufman served as Warhol’s assistant at his famous studio called “The factory.” Kaufman was heavily influenced by Warhol’s style. He and Warhol used many of the same mediums including, sculpture, photography, stained glass, mixed media and filmmaking, but his paintings and prints are by far the most famous. He is also famous for painting unusual objects, including Mercedes Benz and a Formula One Race Car. He is famous for painting celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Muhammed Ali, Marilyn Monroe, and Jackie Kennedy. He also produced a very successful screen print series of Cohiba cigars that remain some of Kaufman’s bestselling work today.
