Alan Turner Paintings

American, 1943-2020
Alan Lee Turner (1943 - 2020) was born in the Bronx, New York, on July 6, 1943. He earned a bachelor’s degree in art from City College in 1965, and a master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, two years later. While in California, Turner studied under David Hockney. “From David Hockney I learned to work from background to foreground in a painting,” he told Nadel in the 2017 interview. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Denver Art Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, among other institutions and private collections.
