Billy Apple®
Artwork Detail
Apple is best known for his self-branding, for his witty and conceptual Pop works and for his sly investigations into the workings of the art market. In 1975, and again in 1979 he turned a critical eye on New Zealand’s art galleries, touring around the country creating works which explored the ideology and politics of art exhibition spaces – the behind-the-scenes mechanics of an art gallery.
REVEALED/CONCEALED was a site-specific exhibition which was held at Auckland Art Gallery, in 1979.
