Keith Haring (1958–1990) was an influential American artist who rose to prominence in the 1980s with his distinct graffiti-inspired Pop Art. Haring’s work is instantly recognisable for its bold lines, vibrant colours, and energetic, cartoon-like figures, often infused with a sense of movement and dynamism. Haring’s art tackled social and political themes, including AIDS awareness, apartheid, drug addiction, and violence, while promoting individual freedom and social justice. Throughout his career, Haring's work was exhibited extensively in galleries and museums worldwide, with major collections held in institutions such as MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art and Berlin’s East Side Gallery.
 
Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist and a leading figure in the Pop Art movement, who explored themes of consumerism, mass production, celebrity culture, and the blurred line between art and commerce. Warhol worked across a wide range of mediums, with some of his most iconic works being created using silkscreen printing, a technique that allowed him to reproduce images multiple times, emphasising repetition and the mechanical nature of modern life. As well as this, Warhol ventured into film and video, creating avant-garde works. Warhol’s works are held in major museums and galleries worldwide, including MoMA, Tate Modern and the Pompidou Centre. In 2022, Andy Warhol’s ‘Shot Sage Blue Marilyn’ sold for $195 million at Christie’s, setting the record for the most expensive 20th-century artwork ever sold at auction.
