Where it came from
Published in 1968, this volume serves as a catalog and retrospective of the work of Billy Al Bengston, a key figure in the California Finish Fetish movement. Emerging from the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s, Bengston was known for his transition from abstract expressionist painting to the use of industrial materials, such as automotive lacquer on aluminum, reflecting the influence of Southern California's surf, motorcycle, and car culture on high art.
The publication captures Bengston’s distinct aesthetic during a period when he was gaining significant traction in the international art world. Produced in association with Galerie Neuendorf, the book mirrors the sleek, polished sensibilities associated with his work. It documents his exploration of recurring motifs like chevrons, irises, and motorcycle components, serving as both a formal record of his exhibitions and an examination of his role in bridging fine art with the mechanical aesthetic of the era.
