About the Item

A mixed media piece by Richard Artschwager. "Diving Boy II" is a mixed media wall sculpture, acrylic and rubberized hair on masonite in a black palette by American Pop Artsit Richard Artschwager. The work is signed on the verso, "Arstchwager". Richard Ernst Artschwager was an American painter, illustrator and sculptor, best known for his stylistic independence; however, he had associations with the Pop Art movement, Conceptual art and Minimalism. Artschwager began to be included in group exhibitions and had his first solo exhibition as a mature artist at Leo Castelli Gallery in January 1965. His first Los Angeles solo exhibition was at Eugenia Butler Gallery in 1970. In 1979, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, staged the first major survey of his work. Between 1986 and 1998 Mary Boone showed his work. He was later represented by Gagosian Gallery. The Whitney Museum of American Art produced its second Artschwager retrospective in 1988-89, at the time he had been linked to the new Neo-Geo movement. It later traveled to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Madrid, Paris and Düsseldorf. Artschwager’s work has since been the subject of many important surveys, including the Centre Pompidou, Paris (1989); Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin (2003); and Kunstmuseum Winterthur (2003). The artist also participated in numerous group shows, such as documenta (1968, 1972, 1982, 1987, 1992) and at the Venice Bienale. His second retrospective, “Richard Artschwager!” was organized by Jennifer Gross at the Yale University Art Gallery and opened at the Whitney Museum in 2012, travelling to venues in the U.S. and Europe during 2013.
