About the Item

SHIPPING CHARGES INCLUDE SHIPPING, PACKAGING & **INSURANCE** Champion 1979 Billy Schenck Serigraph Image size: 16 x 27 inches Billy Schenck has been known internationally for 44 years as one of the originators of the contemporary "Pop" western movement. Schenck has had over 100 solo shows and is included in 44 museum collections. He is an American painter who incorporates techniques from Photo-Realism with a Pop Art sensibility to both exalt and poke fun at images of the West. Career highlights for the artist include the 2013 Utah Museum of Fine Art’s Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West exhibit, the Denver Art Museum’s “Western Horizons” and a retrospective of serigraphs created by Schenck from 1971 through 1996 at the Tucson Museum of Art. Museum collections include the Mesa Southwest Museum, The Tucson Museum of Art, The Denver Art Museum, Museum of the Southwest, Midland TX, Albuquerque Fine Arts Museum and the New Mexico Museum of Art. Private collections include the estate of Malcolm Forbes, Steve Forbes, Chris Evert, Elaine Horwitch, Louis Meisel, Martina Navratilova, Laurance Rockefeller, the estate of Fritz Scholder and Sylvester Stallone. Corporate collections include: American Airlines, I.B.M., Raymond James Financial, Wells Fargo Bank, Hilton Hotels, Sturm Ruger and The National Bank of Switzerland. “What has remained constant throughout Schenck’s career is his individuality in dealing with the subject matter of the west. Using the artistic formula of classic western film direction and the photographically reliant systems of contemporary art, he has bridged two genres that resonate with the American experience. From early depictions of cinematic cowboys to real-life cowboys and cowgirls to poetic reveries about the Native American existence in the Southwest, Schenck melds the real with the imagined, autobiography with fantasy.” Julie Sasse, Chief Curator and Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Tucson Museum of Art Education: 1965-1967 Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus, Ohio 1967-1969 BFA Kansas City Art Institute, Kansas City, Missouri Selected Solo Exhibitions: 2014 "The Myth of the West," Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery, Tucson, AZ 2013 Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery, Tucson, AZ 2011 Tucson Museum of Art, "Bill Schenck Serigraphs 1971-1996 Retrospective", Tucson, AZ 2010 The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho, Bill Schenck Serigraphs 1971-1996 Retrospective, Idaho Falls, ID 2010 Strong Schenck Galleries, Bill Schenck: "New Paintings", Santa Fe, NM 2010 Strong Schenck Galleries, "Bill Schenck New Paintings", Scottsdale, AZ 2009 Strong Schenck Galleries, Grand Opening Solo Exhibition, Santa Fe, NM 2007 Tadu Contemporary/Schenck Southwest, "'Till the End of Time" Graffiti paintings, Santa Fe, NM 2006 Booth Western Art Museum, "Post Apocalyptic Pop", Cartersville, GA 2002 West Valley Museum, "New Directions", Surprize, Arizona 2001 Museum of the Southwest, "Point of Departure", Midland, Texas 1996 Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art, Ten Year Retrospective, "The West as it Never Was", St. Joseph, Missouri 1990 Wyoming State Museum, Cheyenne, Wyoming, "Bill Schenck, A 10 Year Retrospective 1980 - 1990" 1987 Kimball Art Center, Park City, Utah 1983 Scottsdale Center for the Arts, "Bill Schenck 1968-83, 15 Year Retrospective", Scottsdale, Arizona 1978 West Nebraska Arts Center, Scottsbluff, Nebraska 1975-76 Concord Courthouse Bicentennial Exhibition, Concord, Massachusetts 1971 "100 + 101" Loft Exhibition, New York, New York Selected Group Exhibitions: 2019 "Along the Distant Mesa: An Homage to Maynard Dixon" Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery, Tucson, AZ 2019 "Night of the Artists," Briscoe Western Art Museum 2017 "25th Anniversary Celebration" Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery, Tucson, AZ 2014 “Night of the Artists” The Briscoe Western Art Museum, San Antonio, TX 2014 Museum of Fine Arts “New Mexico and the Arts of Enchantment, St. Petersburg, FL 2014 LA Art Show, Los Angeles, CA 2013 National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum “Small Works, Great Wonders,” Oklahoma City, OK 2013 “The West Select” Phoenix Art Museum, AZ 2013 NM Museum of Art, “Back in the Saddle”, Santa Fe, NM, curated by John Torres Nez and Joseph Traugott 2013 Briscoe Western Art Museum, “Night of Artists”, San Antonio, TX 2013 The Coeur d'Alene Art Auction group, “March in Montana”, Great Falls, MT 2013 Utah Museum of Fine Arts, “Bierstadt To Warhol: American Indians in the West”, Salt Lake City, UT 2012 The West Gallery, “Grand Opening”, Berlin, Germany 1983 Alberta College of Art Gallery, "2nd Annual Wild West Show", Calgary, Alberta, Canada 1982 Centro De Arte Moderno, Guadalajara, Mexico 1976 Grand Hornu Gallery, "U.S.A.

Study for the Wrong Side of Paradise
By Billy Schenck
Located in Bozeman, MT
One of the originators of the Western pop art movement, Billy Schenck incorporates techniques from photorealism with a pop art sensibility to both exalt and poke fun at images of the West. Schenck is known for utilizing cinematic imagery reproduced in a flattened, reductivist style, where colors are displayed side-by-side rather than blended or shadowed. In the August 2014 issue of SouthwestArt magazine, his work was described as “a stance … a pendulum between the romantic and the irreverent.” Schenck’s artwork is now in 48 museum collections, including Smithsonian Institution, Denver Art Museum, The Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Booth Western Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, the Mesa Southwest Museum, Museum of the Southwest, Midland TX...
