Kate Moss is the new Pop Art icon

Filed under: News — Jack @ 3:57 pm

In the sixties Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate pin-up within Hollywood, so much so that her name and image has held iconic status ever since. She was the subject of one of the most famous artists of the 20th Century, Andy Warhol, when he completed his Pop Art masterpiece.

Now in the 21st Century the British Supermodel, Kate Moss, has taken the place of Marilyn Monroe as a pop art icon.

In February, at the Urban Art auction, a series of prints by Banksy depicting pop art of Kate Moss sold for £96,000. In 2006 a set of 6 prints featuring Kate Moss sold in the USA for $94,000.

The Helium Foundation is to release a set of six prints of Kate Moss, with an expected limited run of just 20 sets. Expect the prices to be fairly high, and it could represent a sound investment if recent prices of Kate Moss artwork are anything to go by.
