Large framed 'Downtown Girl' silkscreen by Romero Britto (b. 1963). 'Romero Britto is a Pop artist of his generation whose original paintings, serigraphs, and sculptures are collected by, among others, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eileen Guggenheim, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Jordan, Gloria Estefan, David Rockefeller, Senator Ted Kennedy and many other public figures, society scions, and entertainment personalities. A member of the international arts since the late 1980s, Britto was commissioned by Absolut Vodka along with several other prominent artists (including Andy Warhol) to design a bottle label for a company advertising campaign. In the years since the Absolut commission, Britto has received numerous commissions from major corporations for large-scale murals, sculptures and product logos, as well as portrait commissions from celebrities and other society elite.' {source: askart} (Key Word Search: Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Peter Max, Tarsila do Amaral, Charles Fazzino, Burton Morris)
