About the artist

Red Grooms

American

b. 1937

Red Grooms was born Charles Rodgers Grooms in Nashville, Tennessee. He engages in a variety of disciplines such as painting, sculpture, filmmaking, theatre design, and printmaking. According to Barbara Haskell, author of Red Grooms: Ruckus Rodeo, “his early use of urban subjects and advertising slogans was seminal in the development of Pop Art.” His interpretations of reality are aggressively comedic, acknowledging the chaos in our daily lives. Grooms’ work has been exhibited and collected by numerous institutions, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, and the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois.



”If you went out with no idea at all and you started struggling with your medium, you would come [back] with something new”
