Allan McCollum is a
contemporary American artist who was born in Los Angeles, California in 1944,
and now lives and works in New York City. In 1975, his work was included in the
Whitney Biennial, and he moved to New York City that same year. In the late
seventies he became especially well known for his series Surrogate Paintings. He has spent over forty-five years exploring how
objects achieve public and personal meaning in a world constituted in
"mass production," focusing most recently on collaborations with
small community historical society museums in different parts of the world. His
first solo exhibition was in 1970, and his first New York showing was in an
exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery in 1972. Solo retrospectives of Allan
McCollum’s work have been mounted at the Musée d’Art Moderne, Villeneuve
d’Ascq, Lille, France (1998); the Sprengel Museum, Hannover, Germany (1995-96);
the Serpentine Gallery, London (1990); the Rooseum Center for Contemporary Art,
Malmo, Sweden (1990); IVAM Centre del Carme, Valencia, Spain (1990); Stedelijk
Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands (1989), and Portikus, Frankfurt,
Germany (1988). He has produced public art projects in both the United States
and Europe, and his works are held in over 70 art museum collections around the
world.
