A Hand-signed original artwork by James Francis Gill.

After stepping away from the limelight in the early 1970s, Gill re-emerged triumphantly in the 1990s. Described as a pioneer in the pop art movement, Gill’s works are visionary, timeless and universal. His iconic vibrant separations of light and shadow – typic of news photographs - are inspired by magazines like Time, Life and National Geographic and have been featured in numerous galleries.

Gill was one of the first artists to paint Marilyn Monroe, depicting the story of her life in his iconic ‘Marilyn Triptych’ shortly after her death. Following the success of his triptych, which remains part of the Museum of Modern Art’s (New York) permanent collection, Gill became drawn to Marilyn Monroe as a prevalent theme in his work.

The original artworks are modern embodiments of an idea that was ahead of its time. These modern pieces are steeped in the history of the pop art movement and bring a fresh and exciting insight into the workings of one of the last living pioneers of the subject.

Described by the late scholar William Seitz as an ‘incisive and startling commentator’ who art is ‘timeless and universal’, he merges iconography with startling colour.

All of this ensures that your artwork arrives safely.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Most artwork orders will need to be professionally mounted and framed before being dispatched, so delivery can take up to four weeks from the date you placed your order, but we do strive to deliver your order as soon as we can. Books and gift cards are delivered within 2-3 working days. Please note, if multiple artworks are purchased within the same order, they may be delivered separately for efficient delivery.

I'm an artist, how can I submit my art?

We are committed to discovering and developing talented, creative artists who love contemporary art as much as we do. Find out how to submit your art here.

Is my art insured?

Artwork is one of the few insurable items that is likely to appreciate in value over time, so it is important that you are protected by a specialist policy that can accommodate its true worth. Find out about your options here.

About

James Francis Gill

When Pop Art exploded in the USA in the 1960s, the art world changed forever. At the forefront of the movement was James Francis Gill, a Texas-born architectural designer who would go on to count Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, and Andy Warhol amongst his peers. Famously, he stepped away from his celebrity in the early 1970s (although continued painting), but the Pop Art pioneer was rediscovered in the 1990s, and was warmly received by both galleries and private collectors.
