We’re excited to announce that gallery artist Richard Patterson is included in the Glasstire 25 Auction.
A leading figure of the Young British Artists movement, Patterson has built an internationally recognized career through works that merge pop culture, art history, and deeply personal imagery into psychologically charged paintings. Drawing from film, music, magazines, advertising, and contemporary life, his practice explores the layered relationship between image, meaning, and making.
Patterson graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1986. He was included in Damien Hirst’s renowned “Freeze” exhibition in 1988, as well as the internationally touring exhibition “Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection” from 1997 to 2000. Other notable exhibitions include “Nexus Texas” at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (2007); “Attention to Detail,” curated by Chuck Close, at the FLAG Art Foundation, New York (2008); and “Size Does Matter,” curated by Shaquille O’Neal, at the FLAG Art Foundation, New York (2010).
Patterson has had solo exhibitions at Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London (1997); James Cohan Gallery, New York (1999 and 2002); the Dallas Museum of Art (2000); Timothy Taylor Gallery, London (2005, 2008, 2013, 2021); Timothy Taylor Gallery, New York (2018); the Goss-Michael Foundation, Dallas (2009) and the FLAG Art Foundation, New York (2014).
Since 2015, Patterson has also contributed writing to Glasstire, making this inclusion especially meaningful. We’re honored to see his work featured in support of one of Texas’ most important voices in contemporary art.
