Enamel on aluminum. Signed in red paint, dated '98' and numbered. Literature: Red Grooms: New Works (1999). Marlborough Gallery, New York, New York. April-May 1999. Cat. no. 2, Reproduced in color. Red Grooms’s Bicyclist (1999) is a painted aluminum sculpture that combines humor, movement, and vivid color in a lively three-dimensional scene. The exaggerated figure rides a penny-farthing bicycle, its oversized front wheel emphasizing both whimsy and historical reference. Rendered in bright enamel hues—pink, green, turquoise, and gold—the character appears animated and theatrical, with stylized features and playful detail. Grooms, known for his satirical take on everyday life and urban culture, brings a cartoon-like energy to the work while maintaining sculptural precision. Signed and dated, the piece exemplifies his distinctive blend of pop sensibility and narrative form.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
