Notes

“From Warhol to Haring–Every Lego Art Set Ranked”

“The company released its first Lego Art sets in August 2020, with four kits designed to be hung on the wall. Three of them featured artworks from pop culture—Lego pictures of Darth Vader, Iron Man, and the Beatles—but the fourth was a legitimate piece of art history, recreating Andy Warhol’s famed Marilyn Monroe silkscreen in four different colorways.

It was three years—and seven Lego Art sets—before Lego released another set in the series featuring a fine artist, with The Great Wave, the 1831 woodblock print by Japanese artist Hokusai, in January 2023.”
