+ OVERVIEW
The contemporary German-borned artist Peter Max is known for his signature use of bold and vibrant neon colors. A full spectrum of color are featured in his works, his approach to art was extended to fill the color of sky. In 2000, Max was commissioned by the Continental Airlines to illustrate the exterior of a Boeing 777 jet. Max’s works represented the diversity of American pop cultures. The Statue of Liberty embodied the importance of freedom and liberty, and this iconography is often portrayed in Max’s works and is strongly associated with the artist, just as Max is an iconic figure for the United States. Max was appointed to be the official artist for several important events: he was the official artist for U.S. Olympic team in 2006. Max created the official poster for the U.S. Tennis Open in 1997 and 2017. He was also the official artist for World Cup USA, The NYC Marathon and five Super Bowls. Additionally, his works are on display in U.S. embassies as well as Presidential libraries.
