PATRICK CAULFIELD (1936 – 2005)
Caulfield was a student at Chelsea School of Art from 1956 – 1960, followed by the Royal College of Art from 1960 – 63, studying alongside David Hockney and Allen Jones. Caulfield’s work is characterised by a reductive, streamlined use of line and the depiction of banal, everyday objects saturated in colour.
During his lifetime, he held major retrospectives at venues including Serpentine Gallery; Hayward Gallery, Yale Center for British Art, Connecticut; Tate, London and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
In 2006 Caulfield’s prints were the subject of a survey at Tate Liverpool, and in 2013 Tate Britain presented a major retrospective of his works. Caulfield’s works are held by major museums all over the in the world. In 1987 he was nominated for the Turner Prize and in 1993 was elected a Royal Academician.
