Cover Artist

Bill Beckley Bill Beckley is a New York-based conceptual artist who garnered recognition in the 1970s for work that combines photographic images and text to form repetitive, often highly sexualized compositions. Pioneering the use of saturated color photography and overt references to popular advertising tropes, Beckley and contemporaries like William Wegman, John Baldessari, and Gerhard Richter are sometimes referred to as part of the Narrative Art movement, a loosely associated group of artists who influenced the Pictures Generation. In the 1990s Beckley’s conceptual explorations led him to edit a series of academic essays called Aesthetics Today for the School of Visual Arts, where he has taught semiotics since 1970. His most recent solo show, Bill Beckley: Facts (Fuck) I Love You, was on view in Manhattan at Friedman Benda Gallery this past fall. Hanging in the Peter Jay Sharp Opera House Lobby, I’m Prancin’ is a photograph of vibrantly colored, swirling ribbons—free of digital manipulation—which takes its inspiration from the energetic lyrics of a Jack White song. It is the perfect complement to BAM’s multidisciplinary offerings, which feature a combination of dance, music, and performing arts. This work is currently available for purchase for $28,000; all proceeds benefit BAM. For more information please contact Holly Shen Chaves, Curator of Bill Beckley, I’m Prancin, 2013.
