Lot description

Screenprint on canvas of the legendary role Elizabeth Taylor played in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

Young British artist Russell Young takes a neo-Pop approach to his art, creating colorful screenprints of known photographic images, as Warhol did for his time. On this series "Fame +Shame" Young explained it as:
"These gritty, bare, pop, iconographic screen-prints of historic events; my heroes and heroines shown the way I want them seen; glamorous in the dark side of crime, fame, sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Elizabeth Taylor in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” Jimi Hendrix, Man Landing on the Moon, The Vietnam Conflict, The Magnificent Seven, Black Power at the 1968 Olympics, Marlon Brando and The Sex Pistols.
My creative process is the culling of images from newspapers, historical archives and the people who witnessed these events. With these paintings, I take this process and show you how different cultures view America; which in itself is worthy of attention."
