The Untold Chapter of a West Coast Art LegendDavid Gilhooly revolutionized the art world with his whimsical, satirical California Funk ceramics, but his story didn't end with clay. David Gilhooly’s Plexiglas World pulls back the curtain on Gilhooly's extraordinary, mid-career evolution into an entirely new medium: the complex, luminous world of Plexiglas and found-object assemblage.As a prominent figure of the UC Davis TB-9 ceramic revolution alongside Robert Arneson, Gilhooly's sudden departure from clay shocked the art community. This definitive biographical monograph explores the deeply personal and creative shift that drove him into the studio with acrylic sheets, plastic, and everyday artifacts. It chronicles his hidden struggles with identity, the shifting tides of the West Coast avant-garde, and intense creative rivalries; including his complex relationship with painter Sam Francis.
