There is no doubt that the US as a country, heck, the earth as a planet even, seems to have an obsession with celebrity. There is something about the famous ( and infamous ) that fascinates us. Artists are no strangers to celebrating celebrity. Many masters honed their skills and made their livings rendering work of the rich and famous. So today, Artsy Forager is featuring celebrity-driven work. Watch out for the paparazzi!
