About Popo Iskandar

Popo Iskandar (1927–2000) was an Indonesian painter, draftsman, art critic, and educator based in Bandung, West Java. Recognized as a prominent figure in Indonesian visual arts, he contributed to the cultural landscape not only through his own painting and drawing practice but also as a literature critic and essayist. His career spanned the second half of the twentieth century, a period of significant transformation in Indonesian art. He is recorded in the Getty Union List of Artist Names, VIAF, and the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD) as an Indonesian painter and art critic. His work appears regularly at auction, with over 300 recorded lots, reflecting sustained collector interest in Indonesian modern painting.
