About the artist

Currently living and working in New York City, George Condo was born in Concord, New Hampshire, in 1957 and studied art history and music theory at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Starting in the early 1980s, Condo began painting and soon developed a distinct pictorial vocabulary that examines the formal languages of realism and abstraction, collapsing different work processes and genres. His experimental oeuvre surveys the legacy of canonical artists, reimagining their diverse innovations in his own style while challenging traditional conceptions of portraiture.
