Comments: Budd Hopkins was an American painter and sculptor associated with the first generation abstract expressionists of the New York School. He was also a prominent figure in abduction phenomenon, and related UFO research in his later years. Hopkins came of age as an artist in the 1950's becoming friendly with Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Franz Kline and other artists of the New York School. He began to exhibit energetic, athletic abstraction at Poindexter Gallery in 1956 and continued to paint and exhibit for the rest of his life.As his painterly, gestural approach eventually gave way to more hard-edged style, Hopkins maintained that the emotional drive that intially attracted him to Abstract Expressionism remained at the core of his work.Mr. Hopkins' art is in the permanent collections in the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, Hirshhorn Museum, and at the Museum of Modern Art; he received grants or endowments from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His articles on art appeared in magazines and journals, and he lectured at many art schools, including Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill.The works offered here reflect important works produced during the mature phase of his career and are related to his "Guardian" phase images which received substantial recognition.,
