About Peter Max

Peter Max, a celebrated painter of celebrities and cultural icons, is internationally renowned for his vibrant, rainbow-hued visual language. His art encapsulates the spirit and optimism of the psychedelic 1960s while remaining prolific and relevant across subsequent decades.

Max’s creative practice spans diverse media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and graphic design. His imagery, instantly recognizable and broadly relatable, is often linked with Neo-expressionism, though he is best known as one of the most commercially successful and enduring pop artists. Over his illustrious career, Max has collaborated with major organizations and events, creating designs for General Electric, and serving as the official artist for the Grammy Awards, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, five Super Bowls, the World Cup, the World Series, and the US Open. His art has graced a Continental Airlines Boeing 777 and a well-known U.S. postage stamp, cementing his place in both fine art and popular culture. Six American presidents have commissioned works from Max, and his art has been displayed in more than 100 museums and galleries worldwide.

Max’s kaleidoscopic creations range from his celebrated Lady Liberty series to portraits of famous figures and homages to music. His later works include the Obama series and the Masters Series, in which he re-imagined historical masterpieces. These pieces affirm Max’s status as a true American cultural icon, blending eclectic, figurative art with a synesthetic use of color.

Born in Berlin in 1937 as Peter Max Finkelstein, his early life was marked by a rich, nomadic upbringing in China, Israel, and France before his family settled in the United States. Today, Max continues to live and work in New York City, contributing to a legacy that spans generations and inspires audiences globally.
