Ashley Bickerton

Ashley Bickerton

This lavishly illustrated monograph will be the definitive publication to date on artist Ashley Bickerton. From the coolly abstract sculptures which evolved amid his meteoric success in the 1980s New York art world, to his richly hued paintings and photographs that channel the Indonesian island of Bali that he now calls home, Bickerton’s work has dramatically transformed over his twenty-five year career. This aesthetic evolution has occurred in tandem with the artist’s peripatetic movements around the globe in pursuit of the perfect wave. Strikingly designed by Stefan Sagmeister, Ashley Bickerton is an artistic object in its own right. Over 300 color images of works from the 1980s until today capture the acerbic wit and tremendous talent of the enigmatic artist. Textual contributions from Bickerton s family and friends, as well as scholarly essays by art historian Abigail Solomon-Godeau  nd MCA Chicago Curator Dominic Molon, are interspersed with the artist's commentary. An interview between the artist and Serpentine Gallery Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist is brought to vivid life by the renderings of Ignacio Noé. Die-cut pages, books bound within the book, and personal photos together communicate the artist s unique vision. 

NOTE about the artist: Ashley Bickerton was born in Barbados in the West Indies in 1959. He studied at the California Institute of the Arts before moving to New York and entering the Whitney Museum Independent Studies Program in 1985. Rising to prominence, Bickerton was labeled as one of the Fantastic Four along with Jeff Koons, Peter Halley, and Meyer Vaisman. The artists were among those who came to define the wildly successful Neo-Geo movement of the 1980s. The ever-evolving Bickerton left New York in the early 1990s and moved to Brazil before settling in Bali in 1993. Over the last twenty-five years, Bickerton has exhibited throughout Europe and America, and his work is in many public art collections. He is represented by Lehmann Maupin Gallery and Sonnabend Gallery in New York and White Cube Gallery in London.
