Ken Reinhard

E Type Stripe, 1970

Beginning his artistic career in the mid 1950s, Reinhard was a celebrated pioneer at the forefront of Australia’s Pop Art movement of the 1960.

Exhibiting at Bonython Gallery, Sweeney Reed’s Strines Gallery, The Hungry Horse and Marianne Baillieu’s Realities, Reinhard was once broadly appreciated across the Australian art scene. His idiosyncratic approach to Pop art, and his steadfast commitment to using pornographic images of women eventually saw him fall out of favour in the late 1970s and 80s. Reinhard steadfastly continued to explore this unpopular motif, alongside his more esoteric mathematical propositions, until his death in 2024.

Ken Reinhard's Estate is represented by Tarquinio Davison Gallery.
