Richard Hawkins (born 1961 in Mexia, Texas) is an American artist.〔 He lives and works in Los Angeles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2012Biennial/RichardHawkins )〕 His works are held by museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whitney.org/Collection/AllArtists?name=H )〕〔 the Museum of Modern Art,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=28652 )〕 and the Art Institute of Chicago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/artist/Hawkins,+Richard )〕 He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas, Austin in 1984 and a Master of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts) in 1988. After graduating for Cal Arts, Hawkins worked for a time as a short story writer.〔 Hawkins' art largely consists of sculpture and collage. His works combine "ubiquitous pop-culture images and objects with arcane references and quotes"; frequent themes include "current celebrities, literary lions of yesteryear, haunted houses, Asian sex tourism, Greek and Roman statuary and the American Indian experience".〔 He is gay, and his sexuality also informs his artwork.〔 According to art historian Richard Meyer, Hawkins' "mash-up () avant-garde, kitsch and kink", including the use of traditionally feminine consumer items, "challenge() us to rethink our hierarchies of value and visual pleasure."〔 Hawkins was instrumental in reviving the work of the late artist Tony Greene, including co-curating (with Catherine Opie) an exhibition of Greene's work that was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial exhibition in New York. 〔Whitney Museum of American Art, "Tony Greene curated by Richard Hawkins and Catherine Opie" ()〕 ==Selected solo exhibitions== *"Hijikata Twist", Tate Liverpool (2014) *"Smoke-Smoke Salome", Galerie Buchholz, Cologne (2011)〔http://www.corvi-mora.com/biography/richardhawkins/〕 *"Third Mind", Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2011)〔 *"focus: Richard Hawkins: Third Mind", Art Institute of Chicago (2010)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Hawkins (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
