American painter, sculptor and printmaker, and one of the most popular Pop artists, of all time.

Trained at the Art Students League in New York and then at Ohio State University, Columbus, initially worked in Abstract Expressionist style. After changing to Pop art, his first solo-exhibition was held at the Leo Castelli Gallery, in New York.

Similar to other Pop artists of his time, he used images from the commercial world, but in his own personal style. His most characteristic works are where he creates comic strips in very large formats, while emphasizing the primary colors and the dots associated with the low cost comic book printing. Example of such artwork includes Whaam! at the Tate Gallery, London. He later began creating Pop versions of artworks by several modern art masters, like Mondrian.

He has also been associated with several large-scale public commissions, such as Mermaid at the Theatre of Performing Arts, Miami and Mural with Blue Brushstrokes, at the Equitable Building, New York.

His works can be viewed at leading American museums like MOMA and Guggenheim, New York, National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, MOCA, Los Angeles, and MFA, Boston.
