Donald Baechler, the New York-based painter, sculptor, and collage artist whose brand of gleeful, deceptively simple imagery belied a rigorous commitment to formalism, died this Monday, April 4. He was 65.. Cardiac arrest was the cause of death, a representative from the gallery confirmed. “Donald is a great and unique artist, and we are deeply saddened by his sudden and unexpected passing,” the spokesperson said. Our thoughts are with his family and his partner who survive him.”Born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1956, Baechler earned a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and an MFA from Cooper Union.
Returning to New York in 1980, Baechler made a name for himself in the heady downtown painting scene. Early exhibitions came through legendary gallerist Tony Shafrazi, whom the artist had befriended, and his work was often shown alongside that of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and other Neo-Expressionists.
RIP to a friend. Once in Paris a woman told Donald she’d buy his piece but it had a curse word on it. He went to a hardware store, got paint, covered the word and said, “now buy it.” She did.
