Uber den Künstler
David Salle ( 1952, Norman, Oklahoma) is an American painter, printmaker, and stage designer.
He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He received his Bachelor and Master of Fine at the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, California. Salle’s work raised attention in New York in the early 1980s. His paintings and prints seem to comprise randomly juxtaposed images, or images placed on top of each other with deliberately ham-fisted techniques. He is a Postmodernist and Neo-Expressionist. Major exhibitions of his work have been at: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Castello di Rivoli, Torino, Italy; Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. David Salle also designed costumes and directed mainstream cinema. In 1986, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship for Theatre Design, and in 1995 he directed the film Search and Destroy. As a designer of sets and costumes he cooperates with the choreographer Karole Armitage for many of her ballets. He is also a prolific writer on art. Essays and reviews by his hand appeared for instance in Art Forum, and Art in America. His collection of critical essays How to see was published in 2016. Salle's work belongs to collections of many museums, e.g. in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago.
