Andy Warhol
American · b. 1928

Warhol pioneered the silkscreen printmaking technique and Pop Art aesthetic that directly inspired this piece, using repetitive celebrity imagery and bold graphic compositions that Young directly references and pays homage to in this work.

Damien Hirst
British · b. 1965

Hirst similarly incorporates luxurious embellishments like diamond dust and spot glitter into his prints and mixed media works, blending high art with opulent materiality in a manner that closely parallels Young's approach in this screenprint.

Shepard Fairey
American · b. 1970

Fairey creates bold screenprinted portraits of iconic cultural figures using Pop Art influenced graphic styles and layered printmaking techniques that share the same bold visual language and celebrity focused subject matter seen in Young's work.
