The History of Golden
In the 1930s heyday of the Manhattan art scene, Sam Golden and his uncle Leonard Bocour founded Bocour Artist Colors, which supplied venerated artists like Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, and Jackson Pollock. That’s right—if you’ve ever marvelled at the stunning splatters of a Pollock, you’ve seen Sam Golden paints up close.
Skip ahead to the 80s. After the invention of acrylics, Sam Golden came out of retirement to try his hand at the new medium. The results were instantly, unanimously adored by artists, who prized Golden acrylics for their high performance and vibrant pigmentation. The rest, they say, is history.

Why choose Golden art supplies?
Golden makes “artist-grade” paints, essentially paints featuring richer pigmentation, higher performance, and superior durability, meant for professional artists.
That doesn’t mean you have to be a pro to use them, though. Golden colours are highly expressive and vibrant, owing to their rich pigmentation. And their diverse range of drying times, consistency, and body allow you to customize your artistic experience.
