// Sotheby’s V by Nelson Leirner is a mixed-media piece created in 2011, encapsulating a double heart motif with arrows piercing each heart, set against a dark background. The bright red outline of each heart, combined with the metallic sheen of the arrows, gives the work a vivid, almost electric quality. The mirrored composition, with two identical hearts side by side, draws attention to themes of duality and repetition. Leirner’s work often critiques consumerism and art commercialization, and the inclusion of the Sotheby’s logo within the artwork may serve as a commentary on the commodification of art. The piece, numbered 16 of an edition of 20, is encased in a transparent display box, adding a sense of preciousness and distance to the imagery.

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.
