James Rosenquist was born in 1933 in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He attended the University of Minnesota. In 1955, he received a scholarship to the Art Students League and moved to New York. As a young man, Rosenquist worked as a billboard painter, which influenced both his use of commercial and advertising imagery and his manner of organizing his compositions in a horizontal progression. He used the techniques he learned from commercial billboard painting to produce the works that were shown at Green Gallery in 1962. In 1964, he joined the roster of artists at the Leo Castelli Gallery. Rosenquist came to prominence after showing at the Leo Castelli Gallery in the 1960’s and remains one of the most distinguished and influential artists of his generation. Rosenquist, along with Johns, Warhol, Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein and Wesselmann, took the art world by storm and became synonymous with Pop Art and the sixties. His specialty is taking fragmented, oddly disproportionate images, and combining, overlapping, and putting them on canvases to create visual stories. Rosenquist's art has featured in a Retrospective at the Guggenheim in New York in 2003, and is in the permanent collections of such museums as the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Chicago Art Institute, the Guggenheim Museums in NY, Bilbao, and Berlin, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
The piece includes an LOA and lifetime authenticity guarantee from Pristine Auction.
