Est: $250 - $350
William T. Wiley California, Indiana, (1937 - 2021) If it's not Sustainable– it's Un-obtainable, 1999 woodcut Provenance: Gift of the artist, 2001. From the private collection of Bret Waller and Mary Lou Dooley Waller, Indianapolis, Indiana. Biography from the Archives of askART: A significant figure in the Bay Area Figurative movement of the San Francisco, Oakland, California area, William Wiley along with Robert Arneson is regarded as a pivotal artist in the transition between the Funk Art of the 1950s rooted in Abstract Expressionism and the more self-conscious, overt Funk Art that followed. He was also a popular teacher at the University of California at Davis. Reviewer Hilton Kramer in 1971 referred to Wiley's work as "Dude Ranch Dada," and he became the leading inspiration for conceptualists who asserted that their life is art. He was anxious to escape what he perceived as the deadly serious, highly self-conscious symbolism of Abstract Expressionism and borrow ideas from many sources including Zen Buddhism. From Richland, Washington, William Wiley credited his high school art teacher, Jim Mc Grath, with giving focus to his early interest in art and to encouraging him in the freedoms of Abstract Expressionism and inserting written narrations into his pieces. In the 1960s, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1960s, and Frank Lobdell at the Art Institute was a major influence. Wiley's early work at the Institute was primarily Abstract Expressionism, but his interest in Indian culture and events from American history led him into symbols and the addition of found or recognizable objects. As his career continued, Wiley experimented in numerous ways including surrealism and conceptualism and by the late 1960s into free-standing sculptures that combined painting and assemblage and verbal inscriptions and became increasingly complex. One of his pieces was a large ball of electricians tape that was supposed to continue expanding until the Vietnam War came to an end. William Wiley died in Greenbrae, California in 2021.
