Samsung Electronics today announced a global partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios to mark the theatrical release of this summer’s epic new superhero adventure “Supergirl” on June 24. Through the partnership, Samsung is bringing fans closer to the film through Samsung Art Store, a Samsung Micro RGB TV sweepstakes in collaboration with electronics retailer Best Buy and select U.S. and U.K. experiences in support of its global release.
“Samsung’s display business has long been shaped by the way people engage with film, sports, games and art,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through this partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios, we are bringing together the exciting, intergalactic visual world of ‘Supergirl’ with Samsung’s bold display experiences at home.”
Samsung Art Store, the leading digital art platform on Samsung Art TVs, is giving users a new way to experience DC-inspired art at home with a limited-time “Supergirl” collection, available now through March 8, 2027. Featuring 15 digital artworks from DC Comics, the collection brings the character’s comic legacy to life across Samsung’s expanded 2026 Art TV lineup.1
In the U.S., Samsung and Best Buy are launching “Supergirl” sweepstakes at more than 600 participating Best Buy stores nationwide from June 22 through July 19. Special “Supergirl” content will play on Samsung Micro RGB TV displays in each store, where the display’s precise color expression will reveal a hidden riddle. The answer to this riddle will unlock additional entries to the sweepstakes.
As part of the film’s global press tour, the Supergirl Rest Stop pop-up at Phonica Records in London on June 20 featured Samsung 2026 TV and home audio lineups throughout film-inspired spaces, including Supergirl’s bedroom, Kara’s Ship, the Intergalactic Bus Stop and Space Bar.
“The compelling visual world that Craig Gillespie and his teams bring to life in ‘Supergirl’ is unlike anything we’ve seen in the DC Universe, and Samsung, through their innovative Art Store, brings consumers together with their singular technology to deliver that experience on their screens,” said Julie Moore, Head of Global Brand Partnerships at Warner Bros. Pictures. “Having partnered with them on ‘Superman,’ we were eager to work with them again to see how brilliant their ‘Supergirl’ experience would be, and they delivered.”
As the global TV market leader for 20 consecutive years,2 Samsung continues to work across film, retail and home entertainment to connect audiences with the stories they follow on screen.

Samsung Electronics today announced a new partnership between Samsung Art Store and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), bringing museum-quality modern masterpieces to homes around the world through Samsung Art Store. Notably, SFMOMA is the first West Coast museum to be added to Samsung Art Store, significantly expanding the platform’s world-class institutional collaborations. Launching today, the debut collection features 34 artworks from SFMOMA’s renowned holdings, including iconic pieces by some of the 20th century’s most influential artists.
For the first time, Samsung Art Store1 users can display celebrated works such as Diego Rivera’s “The Flower Carrier” (1935), Henri Matisse’s “Femme au chapeau” (1905), Wayne Thiebaud’s “Display Cakes” (1963), Jackson Pollock’s “Guardians of the Secret” (1943) and Piet Mondrian’s “New York City 2” (1941) on select Samsung displays — transforming any room into a dynamic gallery space.
The collaboration makes these iconic works from SFMOMA’s collection more accessible than ever before. It also represents a significant expansion of Samsung Art Store’s offering of modern masters by introducing works by Robert Rauschenberg and Wayne Thiebaud to the platform for the first time.
“Samsung is committed to leveraging its market-leading visual display solutions and partnerships to maximize the richness of the Samsung Art Store experience in homes across the world,” said Heeyeong Ahn, Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Building on this commitment, our partnership with SFMOMA represents an exciting expansion into artworks by 20th-century masters — and we look forward to further enhancing our offerings through additional exciting, high-profile collaborations.”
“This partnership with Samsung Art Store opens an exciting new chapter in how we fulfill our mission to connect people with modern and contemporary art,” said Christopher Bedford, Helen and Charles Schwab Director of SFMOMA. “By making our collection available through innovative technology, we’re reaching audiences who may never visit San Francisco while creating new opportunities for art to enrich daily life around the world.”
Samsung Art TVs, comprising The Frame and The Frame Pro, are designed to display artwork with faithful color, exceptional detail and a gallery-like presentation. Pantone Validated ArtfulColor preserves the authenticity of the original palette. Anti-Reflection with Matte Display and customizable bezels2 mimic the look of framed artwork, and the included Slim Fit Wall Mount eliminates visible wires, all combining to create the look of an original work of art.
The Frame Pro adds an upgraded Neo QLED 4K display for even brighter color and sharper contrast. Plus, its Wireless One Connect Box3 eases installation and enables a clean, clutter-free setup. Across these TVs and several others, Samsung Art Store continues to champion the fusion of art and technology, turning living rooms into curated galleries.
By partnering with leading cultural institutions like SFMOMA, Samsung continues to democratize access to art while supporting museums’ missions to share their collections with broader audiences.
The SFMOMA collection joins Samsung Art Store’s growing library of over 80 partnerships, offering subscribers an ever-expanding selection of art across movements, styles and periods.

Samsung Electronics today announced its collaboration with iconic British design house Liberty, bringing a curated collection of the brand’s most celebrated designs to Samsung Art Store.1 With this partnership, Samsung Art TV users around the world can now display 20 new designs from Liberty’s rich archive of timeless art and patterns from the comfort of their own homes.
The collaboration merges the elegance of Samsung Art TVs with Liberty’s world-renowned archive, making the stunning designs available as digital artworks for the first time. Samsung curators worked closely with the in-house Liberty team to select patterns that would translate beautifully into a large-scale digital display that is alive with detail, light and color.
“This partnership was driven by a shared desire to celebrate British design in new ways,” said Rachael Roberts, Partnerships Manager at Samsung UK. “With no other British design houses currently represented on Samsung Art Store, it felt like the perfect opportunity to bring Liberty’s unique voice to our global audience.”
▲ One of the most celebrated designs from Liberty named Artemis (2023), shown on 2025 The Frame by Samsung.
Founded in 1875, Liberty has long been a symbol of British creativity and craftsmanship. Known for its distinctive prints and established history of design innovation, the brand’s influence spans art, fashion and interiors. For this partnership, the collection is introduced with Artemis as the featured design — a bold, botanical take on a classic Liberty design. Spanning over a century of heritage and creativity, the collection includes everything from the whimsical Enchanted Wood to the vibrant Jungle Trip design.
“At Liberty, we’ve always believed in design that tells a story, and stories that evolve with time,” said Pere Bruach, Design Manager at Liberty. “Partnering with Samsung allowed us to reimagine our most iconic prints as living art, infusing them with a new dimension. These works, once found on silk and paper, are now reinterpreted for the home — bringing the spirit of Liberty and the timeless beauty of pattern and print into people’s everyday spaces.”
▲ 2025 The Frame Pro showcases ‘Marina’s Tea Garden,’ from Liberty’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. This bold floral pattern
has been meticulously recreated to capture the rich colors and subtle tones of gouache brushstrokes. Available as a digital artwork
tailored to Samsung Art Store, it brings character, history and a touch of British charm to living spaces everywhere.
Among the 20 Liberty designs featured, standout works include “Artemis,” “Marina’s Tea Garden,” “Fantasy Land,” and “My Grown Up Star,” from Liberty’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. Each design is presented as a digital artwork tailored to Samsung Art Store, bringing character, history and a touch of British charm into living spaces everywhere.
“When selecting the right pieces for Samsung Art Store, we were drawn to those that best encapsulate Liberty’s visual language,” Bruach added. “From nostalgic 1930s florals and hand-painted botanicals to eclectic geometric designs and enchanting landscapes, the collection reflects the full spectrum of our creative heritage. Artemis, for example, felt like a natural fit for The Frame — it speaks to the blend of tradition and modernity that defines both our brands.”
“Liberty’s legacy of storytelling makes them a dream partner,” said Roberts. “Our vision for the Art Store has always been to make art and design that brings meaning to people’s lives accessible, and Liberty’s prints bring exactly that — a daily joy and a sense of place.”
This new collaboration underscores Samsung Art Store’s mission to democratize access to global art, with a growing archive of over 3,500 artworks from the world’s most renowned museums and art institutions. Now, with the addition of Liberty’s British classics, a new chapter in which printmaking heritage meets innovation begins.
