James Rosenquist (born 1933)

The American pop art artist James Rosenquist began his studies at the University of Minnesota. He moved to New York in 1955 and studied at the Art Students League. This is where he met the artists Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Robert Indiana. He started with poster design but soon joined the upcoming pop art movement and became one of its main representatives. ‘F-111’, a monumental painting of room-encompassing size is his most famous work. The first solo exhibition took place in 1962 at the Green Gallery in New York. Today, his works can be seen in nearly all the important museums around the world, such as the MoMA in New York. A huge retrospective was shown at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2003.
