Originals in this selection, Urban and Pop, Material Acrylic, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Formats from 40 x 60 to 100 x 75 cm.
Colors with pace
Advertising, pop culture, graffiti and street signs supply the stuff from which urban and pop art builds its pictures. Urban and pop mixed media works with acrylic are for sale in this price band for readers who like color, speed and irony.
Acrylic delivers the flat, shouting tones pop needs, and it dries fast enough for stencils, spray paint and glue. Newspaper scraps, packaging or glued-on signs join in. Together they make pictures that look like city cutouts.

In living spaces
Pop works tolerate the company of records, plants and books. They suit open kitchens, lofts and studies. For large color fields slim frames are enough; if you want force, combine several sheets in different formats.
Notes
Spray paints and markers differ in lightfastness, so UV-filtering glass helps. Ask also about varnish and the condition of the collage parts. One more thought: urban and pop art lives on topicality and irony. Give the picture a spot where you see it often and enjoy discussing it with guests. A piece that starts conversations is a good acquisition.
