Walter Robinson is an American painter and art critic born in 1950 in Wilmington, DE. He currently lives and works in New York City. Considered as a post-modernist artist, he has been painting things people like to buy: jars of Vaseline, striped shirts and doughnuts. He immortalizes images of a consumerist utopia.
In the late 1970’s, his pulp romance imagery paintings catalyst him into the spotlight, where he exhibited with the legendary “Collaborative Projects” and “Metro Pictures”, having his first solo show in 1982.
Most people also know Robinson as the founding editor-in-chief of the online artnet magazine, where he worked from 1996 until 2012.
