William Anastasi, considered to be among the first "classical" conceptual artists, is known for rediscovering the radical through painting, sculpture, collage, photography and drawing. His work is in the permanent collections of NY institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, and The Jewish Museum, as well as The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., The Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Staatsgalerie fur Kunst in Denmark, and The Kunstmuseum Dusseldorf in Germany, to name but a few. At Slought Foundation, he recently exhibited me altar's egoes, a project engaging Jarry, Joyce, and Duchamp. (Born 1933, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Lives in New York)
