Iconic Paintings for Sale

Our age is definitely dominated by the media: they have the power to make someone famous in an instant, and the unknown to become known. Our society is saturated by celebrities we adore, judge or hate; having acquired the status of public figures, they influence our opinions, create trends and shape the public sphere. Naturally, contemporary artists observe these new figures of the cultural scene and integrate them into their works. Pop art and Andy Warhol's silkscreens of celebrities gave birth to this artistic trend of representing famous people, as cultural reference status as well but also as symbols of our consumer, capitalist society.
