Steve Kaufman epitomized pop culture during his short life, producing a prodigious array of artwork. More than that, he was a humanitarian who arranged art auctions for a variety of causes: homeless people, AIDS patients, 9/11 victims and first responders, and inner-city youth, among many others. He was integral to Andy Warhol’s studio, The Factory, particularly in perfecting silkscreen techniques. Kaufman prints are highly prized for their vivid colours, many of them hand embellished. He is particularly known for his Comic Book Pop Art superheroes, as well as his portraits of pop icons.
