From Andy Warhol t-shirts from Uniqlo to Keith Haring earrings from Pandora and Jean-Michel Basquiat phone cases from Casetify, our appetite for artist merchandise has never been stronger. Born out of Pop Art, a movement shaped by consumerism, art and artists are increasingly conflated with brands themselves.
Here, Richard Polsky explores the market for Pop Art merchandise in the 21st century, and its role in shaping the way we appreciate and experience art today.
Erin is MyArtBroker's Excuse Me Girl, who asks the public what work of art they'd love to own and why. When she's not interviewing people with her paintbrush mic, she's the Commissioning Editor of Edition Magazine, devising content for our audience of art lovers and collectors.
Erin joined MyArtBroker after completing her MA in Fashion History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in 2022, and graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2021 with a BA in History of Art. Having previously worked with galleries and art publications, Erin comes to us with a passion for storytelling and making the art world and market accessible, and fun.
We connect buyers and sellers of original contemporary and modern prints, facilitating discreet, independent, investment led private sales. Fixed, clear and mutually agreed upon between both parties - simple, safe and secure.
