Golden specialises in acrylic paints, colours and mediums which are high-quality, professional-grade and known for their exceptional versatility and colour intensity. It was founded in 1980 by Sam Golden, who had retired from a long career running Bocour Artist Colors in New York, suppliers to the likes of Rothko, de Kooning and Pollock and maker of early forms of acrylic colour. Their colours are known for their consistency, flow, and richness of colour. It is made from a blend of pigments, binders, and additives that are carefully formulated to provide a smooth, even finish that is resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling. Explore their wide range of acrylic paint types from Open Acrylic, Fluid Acrylic, Heavy Body Acrylic and their recent SoFlat acrylic.
Golden's aim was to make "tools for artists", and this was achieved by introducing first Heavy Body and Iridescent acrylics and then Fluid, Matte and Interference acrylics. Golden Paints now make an unmatched number of mediums, pastes and gels for use with acrylics, as well as Open, a range of slow-drying colours.
