STEVE KAUFMAN Screenprints

Steven Alan Kaufman (also known as Steve Kaufman, December 29, 1960 – February 12, 2010) was an American pop artist, fine artist, sculptor, stained glass artist, filmmaker, photographer and humanitarian. His entry into the world of serious pop art began in his teens when he became an assistant to Andy Warhol at The Factory studio. Nicknamed "SAK" by Warhol, Kaufman eventually executed a 144-foot-long canvas which later toured the country.

In 1993, Kaufman moved his studio to Los Angeles and began painting in a new style called 'comic book pop art.’ He used images of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and others. To assist him in his studio, Kaufman hired more than 100 ex-gang members released from prison.

artHYPE and SHE IS HOPE LA offer screenprints signed and hand-embellished by Kaufman, recently stretched and certified by the previous owner. This collection features pop idols Marilyn Monroe, Jackson Pollock, Britney Spears, hearts, the Statue of Liberty, and rarely-seen religious icons.
