The Andy Warhol Museum’s 30th Anniversary Auction (7/9)

Notes


Thomas Woodruff (b. 1957, New Rochelle, NY) is an American artist who is best known for his imaginative and intricately detailed paintings. He usually works in a series, creating complex narrative threads that run throughout his body of work. Hatched from personal experiences, his past projects are often apotropaic in nature, and have explored issues raised by the AIDS epidemic, the aspects of maintaining wellness, sexual identity, dealing with loss, and the celebration of the outsider in all of us. The imagery is cross-culturally hybridized, illusionistic, technically tricky, lushly hued, and perversely ornate. 

Woodruff attended The Cooper Union and the Skowhegan School. He has worked as an artist, illustrator, set and costume designer, cartoonist, and tattooist. He taught at Bard College, as well as the School of Visual Arts, where he is a Chair Emeritus. He lives in New York City and the Hudson Valley.

In his 40 year career, he has had over 30 one person exhibitions. Woodruff’s work is in numerous private and public collections including the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; New School, New York, NY; Sharkive Collection of the CU Art Museum, Boulder, CO; New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA; MIT List Center, Cambridge, MA; Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, Australia; Greenville County Museum, Greenville, SC; and the Honolulu Academy of the Arts, Honolulu, HI.
