Steve Kaufman was born in New York in 1960. At eight years old he had his first art exhibit and eventually had a job painting faces on pet rocks for NYC’s Macy’s department store. Later in life Kaufman worked as an assistant to Andy Warhol in his factory before he opened his own studio in 1989. He hired many of New York’s homeless to work for him, painted their portraits, and went on to help raise $4,720,000.00 to benefit the homeless. Kaufman’s artwork hangs in the White House and the Smithsonian, as well as hundreds of other collections around the world. Kaufman is also the only American to have been awarded the Picasso Ring, which is an annual award given to an artist the Picasso Academy feels has the spirit of Picasso.
