STEVE KAUFMAN – "ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
⚜ Serigraph on Canvas ⚜ Initialed Verso ⚜ Edition 48/50 AP ⚜ Black Float Frame
VIBRANT POP ICONOGRAPHY OF AN AMERICAN LEGEND
This bold 1990 serigraph by Steve Kaufman—Andy Warhol’s former assistant—reimagines the iconic visage of Abraham Lincoln in a riot of vivid color. Layering the familiar black portrait outline over a saturated backdrop of yellow, pink, mint, and blue, Kaufman amplifies Lincoln’s historical gravitas with electric Pop sensibility. Editioned 48 of 50 Artist Proofs, this rare canvas work showcases the artist’s signature blend of cultural reverence and rebellious glam.
Part political commentary and part pop shrine, the piece invites viewers to experience Lincoln’s legacy through a lens of modern color theory and celebrity-era worship. Kaufman’s high-contrast technique—rooted in his time at The Factory—brings a rebellious warmth to the stoic leader, underscoring the enduring power of reinvention in American iconography.

THE ARTIST:
Steve Kaufman (1960–2010) was a prominent American Pop artist and activist best known for his vivid silkscreens of cultural icons, social leaders, and historic figures. As a former assistant to Andy Warhol at The Factory, Kaufman inherited and evolved Warhol’s legacy—applying Pop techniques to new subjects with a political and emotional edge. Kaufman studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York under Keith Haring and was influenced by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Indiana. His work often fused celebrity portraits with messages of social justice, reflecting both the consumerist gloss of Pop and the moral urgency of street art.
His painted portraits of figures like Marilyn Monroe, Muhammad Ali, and Abraham Lincoln are held in major private collections and corporate holdings, and his collectors include celebrities and institutions across the globe. Kaufman also influenced a generation of contemporary Pop revivalists, including artists like Burton Morris and Romero Britto, and is credited with expanding the genre's social conscience through charitable work and public mural programs.

Tim Nordin "VIII.1 Study" Signed Acrylic on Canvas Panel, Frameless Presentation
By Tim Nordin
Located in Miami, FL
"VIII.1 Study" BY TIM NORDIN (B. 1945)
Acrylic on Canvas over Panel ⚜ Signed ⚜ Frameless Display
A VIBRANT STUDY OF COLOR, TRANSPARENCY & STRUCTURE
A rare and original acrylic on canvas over panel, Tim Nordin’s "VIII.1 Study" (1976) is a striking example from his renowned Transparent Sumi Brush Mark series. This work is defined by layered organic strokes of deep blues, vibrant greens, and subtle earth tones, forming a rhythmic interplay of color and light.
Nordin’s distinctive brushwork creates a composition that shifts dynamically depending on light and perspective, a hallmark of his innovative approach. His technique results in an immersive, pulsating visual field—where each mark remains distinct yet seamlessly integrates into the whole. This meticulous layering and structured spontaneity connect his work to Abstract Expressionism, Op Art, and Color Field painting.
This highly collectible piece was exhibited in Nordin’s 1982 Palm Springs Desert Museum exhibition and remains an essential work for collectors seeking dynamic gestural abstraction and structured color play.

THE ARTIST:
Tim Nordin is an American abstract painter best known for his exploration of transparency, repetition, and structured mark-making. His work draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including Mark Rothko, Sam Francis, Josef Albers, Kazimir Malevich, and the Optical Art movement pioneered by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. While elements of his work reflect the gestural expressiveness of Abstract Expressionism, his approach to composition and structure aligns with Color Field painters such as Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler.
Born in 1945, Nordin traveled extensively before settling in California, where he studied fine arts at Cerritos College and later earned his MFA at Claremont Graduate School, concentrating on printmaking and experimental painting techniques. Early in his career, he experimented with plexiglass, vinyl, and alternative surfaces, seeking ways to push the boundaries of traditional painting.
By the 1970s and 1980s, Nordin became known for his Transparent Sumi Brush Mark series, in which he developed a meticulous method of layering individual brushstrokes to form structured, organic compositions. These works, featuring veils of fluid color and precise gestural marks, evoke the optical depth and rhythmic movement found in Bridget Riley’s Op Art...
