Derek Boshier drew his artistic themes from American pop and consumer culture.

He became known in the 1960s as one of the key figures of British Pop Art and, alongside his contemporaries David Hockney, Peter Blake, and Pauline Boty, is considered one of the pioneers of a new visual language.

He has devoted himself to a wide range of artistic media, including collage, book design, stage design, and illustration, as well as photography, film, and sculpture. The book traces Boshier’s career in all its facets. Beginning with his early works of the 1960s, the journey leads to his experiments with new forms of expression such as collage and illustration, including works for David Bowie and The Clash. In the 1980s, Boshier returned to painting and explored further themes of American iconography.

The richly illustrated and superbly designed book is accompanied by informative texts that shed light on the background of the art and life of this exceptional talent. It is the definitive monograph on one of the most important British artists.
