The American Donald Baechler is a con-
temporary artist well-known and popular
around the world for his innocent, symbolic
collages, often with striking contours, or
monochrome areas of colour.
He studied at the Maryland Institute, at the
College of Arts in Baltimore, at the Cooper
Union in New York, and the Hochschule für
Bildende Künste in Frankfurt amMain. In
the 1980s, he was part of the Neo-Expres-
sionist movement along with the artists
Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.
His comprehensive oeuvre is present in
various renowned contemporary art insti-
tutions such as the Museum of Modern Art
in New York, the Whitney Museum of Ame-
rican Art and the Guggenheim-Museum,
as well as the Centre Georges Pompidou
and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Today he lives and works in New York.
