Donald Baechler
American | 1956Donald Baechler was an American artist who played a significant role in the Neo-Expressionist and Post-Pop Art movements of the 1980s. He became internationally known at a time when New York peers such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat were making the downtown scene a legendary New York phenomenon. Baechler, however, painted a different tune. Influenced by artists as diverse as Cy Twombly, Joseph Kosuth, and Giotto, he spent four decades tirelessly exploring the tensions between figuration and abstraction, levity and gravity.
With works in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Baechler is recognized as one of the most important painters of his generation. Despite this critical acclaim, his market remains accessible to collectors of almost all levels.
