Red Grooms Biography
Nashville, 1937 -
American Pop artist, widely recognized as a leading exponent of HAPPENINGS.
Grooms was trained at the New School for Social Research, the Chicago Art Institute School and the Hans Hofmann School, Provincetown. His initial acclaim came in 1959, when he staged a Happening in New York entitled The House That Burns, a mixture of Disneyland, vaudeville and Punch and Judy show situated somewhere between nostalgic melodrama and impassioned protest.
As an artist, he also collaborated with Claes Oldenburg. In 1966, he was represented at the Venice Biennale. This was followed by the exhibition Happening & Fluxus at the Kunstverein Cologne and at the Wurttemberischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart.
