Painting, Color, Design, Composition
Larry Poonsâ lyrical color paintings were first exhibited at the Greene Gallery in
1962 and left an immediate impression upon the artists, critics, and collectors who saw
the show. He quickly became the most talked about of the new generation of artists of the
sixties. During that period, his work was included in exhibitions held at the Museum of
Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art, where he was represented in the
show, Art of the United States: 1670-1966. Mr. Poons taught painting at the Art Students
League from 1966 to 1970. He returned to teach at the League in 1997.
Born in Tokyo and raised in the United States, he attended the New England
Conservatory of Music and the Boston Museum School. His paintings are in the
collections of many major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los
Angeles County Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and
the Tate Gallery in London. During the last thirty years his work has been included in
hundreds of solo and group exhibitions including many contemporary exhibitions at
major museums and galleries around the world. He is currently represented by Bernard
Jacobson Gallery, London, England.
