Derek Boshier was one of the 1962 graduates of the Royal College of Art (RAC) who established Pop Art as a movement in Britain. Boshier's works brought a strong satirical edge to British Pop Art that would set him apart from his contemporaries. Since the 1960s, his art had gone through various phases; touching on Pop Art, as well as hard-edge Op Abstraction and politically radical conceptual art. Addressing the question of what shapes his work, Boshier once stated "Most important is life itself, my sources tend to be current events, personal events, social and political situations, and a sense of place and places"
Boshier taught at the University of Houston during 1981 to 1992. He moved permanently to Los Angeles, California in 1997 where he passed away in 2024.

Public collections include: British Council, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Peter Stuyvesant Collection, Holland; Tate Britain and Tate Modern, London; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; HRH The Queen, Windsor Castle; The National Gallery of Art, Canberra, Australia; The Museum of Art, Ein Harold, Israel.
