The Poster Pop Collection
A 16 Year Collection of Paintings by Poster Pop Artists including Aaron Marshall, Marco Almera, Alan Forbes, Pizz, Shag, Dirty Donny and Von Franco.
The Poster Pop Collection spotlights several important paintings by Poster Pop Artists in the tiki, Hawaiiana, alternative and hotrod genres.
Highlights of the Collection include paintings by Pop Surrealists Aaron Marshall; Shag, the first oil painting by Frank Kozik; “Priscilla Ua,” widely considered to be one of Pizz’s top five works along with rare paintings by Alan Forbes and Marco Almera.
“Since 1997, Poster Pop has created merchandise and published art prints based on the artists’ work. I’ve always enjoyed a great working relationship with my Poster Pop artists,” says Matt Getz ”It was both logical and key that I started collecting the original art.”
