RICHARD BERNSTEIN - TROIS PILULES, 1967
Richard created Trois Pilules as part of his “Pilule” series while living in Paris in the mid 1960s. Bernstein drew inspiration from the elements of popular culture around him in typical Pop Art fashion. At the time when Abstract Expressionism and color field painting were at their peak, this series was a stark contrast to those movements. He debuted this series at the famed Iris Clert Gallery and later at the Paolo Barozzi Galleria in Venice Italy where famed collector Peggy Guggenheim was the guest of honor.

Richard Bernstein (1939-2002) was an American Pop Artist widely remembered as the creator of the iconic portraits for Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine from 1972 to 1989. Since the mid ‘60s he was one of the first artists to blur the line between commercial and fine art. Bernstein’s technicolor artwork captured the glamor and extravagance of the Pop Art era, whom Andy Warhol called “my favorite artist.” In the early 1980s Bernstein was one of the pioneering artists working with computer generated graphics. He created a portrait of David Bowie in 1983, which is the first digitally created portrait from the Pop Art movement. His works are in permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art; National Portrait Gallery, among others, and has been exhibited internationally, including The Nottingham Contemporary, The Whitney Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, and most recently the Warhol Museum.
