Pop Art

POP ART STYLE

Perhaps one of the most influential contemporary art movements, Pop art emerged in the 1950s. In stark contrast to traditional artistic practice, its practitioners drew on imagery from popular culture — comic books, advertising, product packaging and other commercial media — to create original Pop art paintings, prints and sculptures that celebrated ordinary life in the most literal way.

ORIGINS OF POP ART

CHARACTERISTICS OF POP ART 

  • Bold imagery
  • Bright, vivid colors
  • Straightforward concepts
  • Engagement with popular culture 
  • Incorporation of everyday objects from advertisements, cartoons, comic books and other popular mass media

POP ARTISTS TO KNOW

ORIGINAL POP ART ON 1STDIBS

The Pop art movement started in the United Kingdom as a reaction, both positive and critical, to the period’s consumerism. Its goal was to put popular culture on the same level as so-called high culture.

Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? is widely believed to have kickstarted this unconventional new style.

Pop art works are distinguished by their bold imagery, bright colors and seemingly commonplace subject matter. Practitioners sought to challenge the status quo, breaking with the perceived elitism of the previously dominant Abstract Expressionism and making statements about current events. Other key characteristics of Pop art include appropriation of imagery and techniques from popular and commercial culture; use of different media and formats; repetition in imagery and iconography; incorporation of mundane objects from advertisements, cartoons and other popular media; hard edges; and ironic and witty treatment of subject matter.

Although British artists launched the movement, they were soon overshadowed by their American counterparts. Pop art is perhaps most closely identified with American Pop artist Andy Warhol, whose clever appropriation of motifs and images helped to transform the artistic style into a lifestyle. Most of the best-known American artists associated with Pop art started in commercial art (Warhol made whimsical drawings as a hobby during his early years as a commercial illustrator), a background that helped them in merging high and popular culture.

Roy Lichtenstein was another prominent Pop artist that was active in the United States. Much like Warhol, Lichtenstein drew his subjects from print media, particularly comic strips, producing paintings and sculptures characterized by primary colors, bold outlines and halftone dots, elements appropriated from commercial printing. Recontextualizing a lowbrow image by importing it into a fine-art context was a trademark of his style. Neo-Pop artists like Jeff Koons and Takashi Murakami further blurred the line between art and popular culture.

Pop art rose to prominence largely through the work of a handful of men creating works that were unemotional and distanced — in other words, stereotypically masculine. However, there were many important female Pop artists, such as Rosalyn Drexler, whose significant contributions to the movement are recognized today. Best known for her work as a playwright and novelist, Drexler also created paintings and collages embodying Pop art themes and stylistic features.

Andy Warhol Deluxe Signed Edition of Film Festival Lincoln Center (Feldman & Schellmann, II.19), 1967 Silkscreen, die-cut on opaque acrylic Edition 2/200 (Signed and numbered on the back with engraving pen) Hand-signed by artist, As this work was done on acrylic, Warhol signed and numbered it by hand on verso with an engraving needle. Printed date with copyright Frame included: Elegantly framed in a museum quality wood frame with UV plexiglass. A die-cut window has been created in the back of the frame to reveal Warhol's incised signature and edition Publisher: Leo Castelli, New York Printer: Chiron Press, New York Catalogue Raisonne: Feldman & Schellmann, II.19 This work is often hung and displayed both vertically and horizontally - see photos for inspiration This work is one of only 200 done on opaque acrylic rather than wove paper, signed and numbered on the opaque acrylic by Andy Warhol with an engraving pen. (Separately, there was an unsigned edition of 500 on wove paper). What distinguishes this rare, extremely desirable signed edition of 200, other than that it is signed and numbered by hand by Andy Warhol, is that the black graphic text FIFTH NEW YORK is placed directly over the text Film Festival of Lincoln Center; whereas in the edition of 500, the text black text FIFTH NEW YORK is placed on top of the white text. An innovative feature that appears in this special edition is a perforated line running across the surface of the print, at its triangular cut out sides, mimicking the tear line present in real commercial movie admissions tickets. Chiron Press commissioned by Lincoln Center, devised a special process expressly to imprint the edition with this perforation using a die cut stamp. This work is quintessential early Warhol, with characteristic bright neon colors, featuring text, along with the artist's very recognizable flower motif. The Lincoln Center ticket...

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - Both Poles. Skate Decks Pop Urban Art Design
Located in Madrid, Madrid
Jean-Michel Basquiat - Both Poles Date of creation: 2024 Medium: Digital print on Canadian maple wood Edition: Open Size: 80 x 20 cm (each skate) Condition: In mint conditions and never displayed This triptych is formed by three skate decks made of 7 ply grade A Canadian maple wood. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York This skateboard set reproduces Both Poles (1982), an iconic work by Jean-Michel Basquiat that encapsulates the tensions running through his visual language: past and present, earth and sky, history and immediacy. The original piece, executed in acrylic, oil stick, and collage, presents a fragmented scene dominated by a symbolic mountain, a crescent moon, and charged elements such as a sickle and a post. Here, Basquiat confronts “both poles” of his inner and outer worlds: excavation and invocation, memory and transmission. This edition brings that conceptual force into the urban language of skateboarding, becoming both a collectible object and a contemporary artistic statement. Transposed onto the skateboard format, the work becomes a visual declaration that bridges art and street culture, while preserving the expressive and conceptual intensity of the original. ABOUT THE ARTIST Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, famous for his ability to fuse urban culture, social criticism and art history into a unique style. Born in Brooklyn, New York, to a Haitian father and Puerto Rican mother, his life and work were shaped by his multicultural heritage, the New York art scene and the social tensions of his time. Although his career was brief, his impact on contemporary art has been lasting and significant. Basquiat showed an interest in art from an early age. His mother, Matilde Andrades, took him to museums and encouraged him to draw. At the age of seven, a car accident left him hospitalized for a time, and it was then that his mother gave him a copy of the anatomy book Gray's Anatomy, which influenced his fascination with the human body and its visual representation. Despite his early talent, Basquiat's family life was turbulent. His mother was hospitalized for psychiatric problems and his relationship with his father, Gerard Basquiat, was troubled. This instability contributed to Basquiat dropping out of school at age 17 to pursue his artistic career on the streets of New York. As a teenager, Basquiat joined the New York graffiti scene under the pseudonym SAMO (an acronym for "Same Old Shit"), which he used to sign his cryptic and poetic messages on the streets of Manhattan with his friend Al Diaz. SAMO's graffiti were a mixture of philosophical and social commentary on popular culture, capitalism and religion, and soon attracted the attention of the underground art scene. In 1980, SAMO "died" when Basquiat and Diaz decided to end their collaboration, marking the beginning of Basquiat's transition from street graffiti to art galleries. Basquiat emerged as a talent to watch in 1980, when he participated in the group exhibition The Times Square Show, which included other emerging artists from New York's Lower East Side scene. That same year, he attracted the attention of critics and collectors who saw in his work an electrifying blend of street art and neo-expressionism, the predominant movement of the time. In 1981, art critic René Ricard published the influential essay The Radiant Child in Artforum magazine, which positioned Basquiat as one of the most promising artists of his generation. Shortly thereafter, he met renowned artist Andy Warhol, with whom he formed a close friendship and significant artistic collaboration. This association was instrumental in catapulting his career into the world of high art. The collaboration with Warhol was a pivotal point in Basquiat's career. The two artists, although coming from very different worlds, shared a fascination with fame and popular culture. Together, they produced a series of works that combined Warhol's pop art icons with Basquiat's raw, spontaneous style. However, this collaboration was also a source of controversy. Many critics accused Warhol of "exploiting" Basquiat, while others saw the collaboration as a creative dialogue between two genius minds. Although the criticism was mixed, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two artists helped cement Basquiat's reputation in the art world. Basquiat's style is a unique amalgam of influences. His work is characterized by the use of dismembered human figures, skeletons and internal organs, evoking the fragility of the body and mortality. Basquiat also used symbols that alluded to African-American and African history, such as crowns, masks and references to historical figures such as Toussaint Louverture. The use of text is another crucial aspect of his work. Words, phrases and numbers appeared in his paintings, often crossed out or overlapped, creating a sense of controlled chaos. These fragmented words provoked a non-linear reading of his works and conveyed multiple layers of meaning. His art also reflected his concerns about racial issues, especially the place of people of African descent in Western art history and in society at large. The crowns that Basquiat often drew on his figures were a symbol of power and resistance, a way of proclaiming himself "king" in a world that had historically excluded black artists from the upper echelons of art. In works such as The Death of Michael...

JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - Charles The First. Skate Decks Pop Urban Art Design
Located in Madrid, Madrid
Jean-Michel Basquiat - Charles The First Date of creation: 2024 Medium: Digital print on Canadian maple wood Edition: Open Size: 80 x 20 cm (each skate) Condition: In mint conditions and never displayed This triptych is formed by three skate decks made of 7 ply grade A Canadian maple wood. © Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Licensed by Artestar, New York This skateboard set reproduces Charles The First (1982), a key work by Jean-Michel Basquiat that pays tribute to Charlie Parker, the influential jazz saxophonist known as "Bird." Basquiat captures the frantic energy and complexity of Parker through his signature style, blending elements of Black culture, music, and the figure of the artist in a raw and powerful representation. The original painting, executed with acrylics, oils, and pastels, presents a stylized figure that recalls both a portrait and a symbol. The face is fragmented, filled with quick strokes and vibrant colors, while the outline and details evoke both divinity and struggle. Basquiat uses his unique visual language to convey the chaos and beauty of Parker’s life, a metaphor for creativity as a form of resistance and expression. Transposed onto the skateboard format, Charles The First becomes a dynamic work of art that not only celebrates the life of a musical icon but also merges contemporary art with urban culture. This piece transcends simple reproduction, inviting a connection between visual art and movement in the streets, with the same vigor and attitude Basquiat infused into his work. ABOUT THE ARTIST Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, famous for his ability to fuse urban culture, social criticism and art history into a unique style.

Basquiat emerged as a talent to watch in 1980, when he participated in the group exhibition The Times Square Show, which included other emerging artists from New York's Lower East Side scene. That same year, he attracted the attention of critics and collectors who saw in his work an electrifying blend of street art and neo-expressionism, the predominant movement of the time. In 1981, art critic René Ricard published the influential essay The Radiant Child in Artforum magazine, which positioned Basquiat as one of the most promising artists of his generation. Shortly thereafter, he met renowned artist Andy Warhol, with whom he formed a close friendship and significant artistic collaboration. This association was instrumental in catapulting his career into the world of high art. The collaboration with Warhol was a pivotal point in Basquiat's career. The two artists, although coming from very different worlds, shared a fascination with fame and popular culture. Together, they produced a series of works that combined Warhol's pop art icons with Basquiat's raw, spontaneous style. However, this collaboration was also a source of controversy. Many critics accused Warhol of "exploiting" Basquiat, while others saw the collaboration as a creative dialogue between two genius minds. Although the criticism was mixed, there is no doubt that the relationship between the two artists helped cement Basquiat's reputation in the art world. Basquiat's style is a unique amalgam of influences. His work is characterized by the use of dismembered human figures, skeletons and internal organs, evoking the fragility of the body and mortality. Basquiat also used symbols that alluded to African-American and African history, such as crowns, masks and references to historical figures such as Toussaint Louverture. The use of text is another crucial aspect of his work. Words, phrases and numbers appeared in his paintings, often crossed out or overlapped, creating a sense of controlled chaos. These fragmented words provoked a non-linear reading of his works and conveyed multiple layers of meaning. His art also reflected his concerns about racial issues, especially the place of people of African descent in Western art history and in society at large. The crowns that Basquiat often drew on his figures were a symbol of power and resistance, a way of proclaiming himself "king" in a world that had historically excluded black artists from the upper echelons of art. In works such as The Death of Michael Stewart...
