Derek Boshier was one of the 1962 graduates of the College of Art, who established Pop Art as a movement. Together with his fellow students David Hockney, Allen Jones, Peter Phillips and Kitaj, he participated in the landmark Pop Art in Britain at the Young Contemporaries exhibition. Boshier's art has gone through various phases, touching on Pop Art, hard-edge Op Abstraction and politically radical conceptual art.
Boshier currently works and lives in Los Angeles, California.
