Peter Max
Peter Max is one of the defining figures of American pop art and the visual language of the 1960s counterculture. His Cosmic-Pop paintings, psychedelic posters, and instantly recognizable color palette helped shape an era — and his subsequent decades of Statue of Liberty paintings, presidential portraits, and Americana imagery cemented him as one of the most enduring pop artists alive.
Peter Max has been an official artist for U.S. Presidents, the Grammy Awards, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the U.S. Olympic Team, and the World Cup. His works hang in the Smithsonian, the Hermitage, and dozens of museum collections worldwide. Few artists have so completely woven themselves into the visual identity of modern America.

About the Artist
Peter Max is one of the defining figures of American pop art. Born in Berlin in 1937 and raised across Shanghai, Tibet, Israel, and South Africa before settling in Brooklyn, his global early life shaped a visual vocabulary that became one of the most recognizable in modern art history.
Max's signature style — saturated cosmic color, fluid line work, swirling abstract pattern, and a celebratory humanist tone — became inseparable from the visual identity of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His work fused pop art, psychedelia, Eastern spirituality, and graphic design into a single language that crossed effortlessly between fine art and mass culture.
Max has been chosen as the official artist of six U.S. presidents, multiple Super Bowls, the World Cup, the U.S. Olympic Team, the World Series, and the Statue of Liberty Centennial. His work has appeared on U.S. postage stamps, on the side of Continental Airlines jets, and in the permanent collections of museums worldwide. He has remained an outspoken advocate for peace, civil rights, and environmental causes throughout his career.
