// Sotheby’s IV by Nelson Leirner, crafted in 2011, is a mixed-media artwork that juxtaposes two identical figures of a woman dressed in red, each holding a distinct object that mimics the style of a formal suit tie, adorned with a gem-like detail. The figures, placed against a minimalistic background, feature the printed text Contemporary Art Day Auction, referencing Sotheby’s, a major art auction house. This clever integration of branding with traditional portraiture serves as Leirner’s critique of art commercialization and auction culture. Numbered as 10 of an edition of 20, the piece’s mirroring of figures highlights themes of replication, value, and identity within the art market.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
