At his AFA ArtTalk, David Salle provided a rich context for his work in a wide-ranging, erudite talk in which he wove references to Gertrude Stein, Edmund Wilson, T. S. Eliot, and Frank O’Hara, as well as other artists.

One of the most important painters to emerge at the end of the 1970s, David Salle helped define the postmodern sensibility by combining figuration with an extremely varied pictorial language. His work has been exhibited in more than 100 museums and galleries worldwide, including the Whitney Biennial, Documenta, the Venice Biennale, Carnegie International, the Paris Biennale, and most recently, The Pictures Generation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
