Story / Additional InfoIn 1995 I worked on a press conference held at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh in connection with the Campbell's (Soup Co.) “Art of Soup” competition. Paul Warhola, Andy Warhol's brother, was a featured speaker. The backdrop for the podium area was a series of Campbell’s Soup can silk screen prints created by Steve Kaufman. I was given 3 of those soup can prints by my client. The size of each print is 14”W x 16”H framed and signed by Steve Kaufman on the the back.

Steve Kaufman - United States

Art Brokerage: Park West Artist: Steve Alan Kaufman: American Artist: On February 12, 2010, the world lost Steve Alan Kaufman, one of the greatest American pop artists and a generous humanitarian. Steve Kaufman, former assistant to Andy Warhol, passed away at the young age of 49. His memory, as well as his paintings, will live on forever. From his warm smile and generous heart, to his ability to tell a great story and his incredible knack of making every day an adventure filled with humor, drama, and laughter - Steve Kaufman was a legend. His paintings have found their way into the homes and hearts of so many, capturing the true American pop art experience. Steve Kaufman painted such timeless pieces such as: Coca Cola, Marilyn Monroe, Mozart, Beethoven, Wizard of Oz, Muhammad Ali, his money series, and his paintings of famous singers, actors and icons. His audience is vast and large, and his contribution to society was enormous. Steve Kaufman launched and operated the "Give Kids a Break Fund," a successful charity which helped inner city kids from troubled homes or straight from jail. Steve Kaufman gave these kids a job and his trust when no one else would, allowing them opportunities that they would have never had. Steve Kaufman lived for forty nine years, and in that time, he lived the life of 10 men. He will be so painfully missed, but his art will live forever.
