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.
