Meyer Fine Art, Inc. is the exclusive representative for the estate of art by Clay Walker
Clay Walker (1924-2008) found his niche in the contemporary art world, specializing in original graphics, limited edition prints and oil paintings. Yet his work has been displayed minimally since the late 1960s.
Thousands of Clay Walker’s creations have been lost to the art world for the past 40 years until shortly after Walker’s death in 2008. They were rediscovered when Muriel Walker was introduced to Perry Meyer, an art expert with a passion for 20th century original prints. Walker’s artwork was reintroduced to the public when Meyer Fine Art opened its first Walker retrospective in 2009; each year following the gallery has a solo Walker show March/April.
Walker, an artist with a passion to create and teach art and Perry Meyer, an art expert with a passion for 20th century original prints and paintings were the perfect pairing.
Clay Walker was a prolific mid-century abstract expressionist. He was a friend of Pablo Picasso and an active member of the post-World War II art movement with Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, June Wayne, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. He began his art career in the Midwest, then San Antonio, Texas, finally moving to the west coast in late 1963. In the late 1970s he designed and built his final house and art studio in Escondido. During this period Walker he became reclusive; he kept apart from the mainstream art scene, only allowing family members, close friends and trusted collectors to view his pieces. He spent the majority of his time working in the studio. Clay Walker died in March 2008.
Walker was a master of diverse art media with an eye for vivid color and unique design. He specialized in original graphics, limited edition prints, paintings and sculptures. Clay Walker artwork has been shown in over 200 exhibitions throughout the U.S., including the Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Fine Art and the Library of Congress. As a teacher, all throughout his adult life, he motivated his students to master the basic art techniques then go beyond the traditional boundaries of creativity.
Meyer Fine Art, Inc. is honored to represent Walker’s diverse works on paper, canvas, wood; a retrospective of color, texture and creativity. Experience how the times and art movements influenced his images. Compare his skillfully executed sketches to the finished masterpieces. Understand how he challenged himself utilizing colors and materials to create compositions ahead of their time.
With each annual exhibition, the gallery unearths new pieces from the vast Walker inventory, covering the full range of art genre Walker worked in. The diverse works on paper, canvas and wood, a mélange of color, texture and creativity continue to excite new clients and previous collectors, frequently adding to their collections, creating a vast demand for his artwork.
A work of art is a thing alive. You cannot create a work of art unless the things you behold respond to something within you. – Clay Walker
