Peter Max is America’s most well known and most collected artist. The Pop Artist is well known for his paintings of iconic Americana. His psychedelic, multi-dimensional paintings of historical landmarks in American culture have maintained their signature style and flare throughout his multi-decade career. Max’s art has appeared on everything from a Boeing 777 Continental jumbo jet, the 1999 Woodstock stage, to a giant mural at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Max’s art has also appeared in one man museum exhibitions around the world including the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Staatliche Kunsthalle Museum in Berlin and most recently, the El Paso Museum of Fine Art, Tennessee State Museum and De Young Museum in San Francisco. He has designed numerous magazine covers including Newsweek magazine.
Max has achieved his place in history having painted for various Heads of State. Often incorporating iconic symbols of America into his work, Max has painted for six U.S. presidents, created the official artwork and poster for the Clinton Inauguration, his "Flag With Heart" impressionistic paintings of the American flag are in permanent installations in the Carter, Reagan and Bush presidential libraries in addition to his statue of Liberty paintings, which have become an annual painting tradition since America's Bicentennial, in 1976 and led to Max playing a lead role in the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. From art that appeared on the first U.S. 10-cent stamp bearing the title “Preserve the Environment,” to 235 U.S. Border murals greeting millions of people entering America each year, Peter Max seeks to capture themes of America at its finest in his art.
