Celebrated as one of America’s foremost Pop artists, painter and printmaker Allan D’Arcangelo is best known for his large-scale, hard-edge paintings of highways, airplanes, road signs, and desolate industrial landscapes—hallmarks of the American vernacular. Often depicted from the driver’s perspective, D’Arcangelo’s compositions incorporate flattened, simplified fields of color and fragmented geometric forms. The artist superimposed them with cropped road signs, abstracted highway imagery, and forms resembling broken glass. These works veer between figuration and abstraction, often hiding subtle social commentary. D’Arcangelo has been the subject of numerous solo shows across the U.S. and beyond. His work has sold for six figures on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and the Museum Ludwig.
