SELECTED COLLECTIONS
MUSEUM COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS
With a career spanning five decades, Billy Schenck’s work features in major collections around the world, including 52 museums and the private collections of the estates of Malcolm Forbes and Laurence Rockefeller. And with global companies such as American Airlines, IBM, Sony and Saatchi & Saatchi adding his art to their portfolios, it was only a matter of time before his Western mythology became the subject of a book. In 2010, the artist released Bill Schenck: Serigraphs 1971-1996 in conjunction with a retrospective of the same title.
One of his biggest career highlights to date is a shared retrospective with Andy Warhol at the Briscoe Western Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas, from May to September 2018. Here, 26 pieces from his Myth of the West collection appeared alongside Warhol’s Cowboys and Indians . In 2018, the artist will take his first-ever trip outside the USA for a touring exhibition of the UK. It will be the first time audiences will have the opportunity to meet the original ‘grandaddy of contemporary Western art’.
