Steven
Alan Kaufman, born in Bronx, New York, was Andy Warhol’s assistant at the
Factory when he received his nickname and developed the signature “SAK” which
adorns his art. Kaufman was a truly great American pop artist that used
his art to comment on history and current events. Kaufman significantly
advanced the silk screen process and augmented the technique with rich colors
and hand embellishment. His art focused on iconic people, historical
figures and products used in everyday life. His collections of work
focusing on Marilyn Monroe, U.S. and global currencies, celebrities, Warner
Brothers and Marvel Comics characters, and other subjects have been included in
collections around the world. Kaufman was an activist, involved in
hundreds of different charities, and worked closely with young people, often helping
them to turn their lives around, passing down the legacy which originated with
Andy Warhol to another generation prior to his death at only 49.
