He mainly got famous for his "Black wall painting" and his "Pop Paintings" in which he overpainted or collaged screenprints of clowns. The main issue in Beckman's work is the image of human relativity between life, disappearance and hope. In 1991 Beckman changed his artistic concept. He started to work on abstract projects by using the colors yellow, black and white but without forcing them into geometric shapes. The colors were dropped on canvas and thus shapes were created which dynamically spread out on every point in a painting. Beckman lives in New York and new Canaan, Connecticut.ONE PERSON EXHIBITIONS: 2002 Galerie Brennecke, Berlin 2001 Galerie Benden & Klimczak, Koln 1999 Galerie Academia, Salzburg Galerie Brennecke, Berlin Robert McClain & Co., Houston 1998 Galerie Baumler, Regensburg 1997 Kunstverein, Augsburg Galerie Hachmeister, Munster 1996 Bobbie Greenfield Gallery, Santa Monica Galerie Ribbentrop, Eltville am Rhein Kestner-Gesellschaft, Hannover Galerie Academia, Salzburg 1995 Galerie Baumler, Regensburg Galerie Ribbentrop, Eltville am Rhein TransArt, Koln 1994 Galerie Ribbentrop, Eltville am Rhein Gian Ferrari Arte Contemporanea, Milano Galerie Buchmann, Basel 1993 Galerie Buchmann, Basel Ace Gallery, Los Angeles Galleria Il Ponte, Roma 1992 Anders Tornberg Gallery, Lund Galerie Hans Mayer, Dusseldorf Galerie Hans Mayer (Pop Show), Dusseldorf Lindblad Thorden Gallery, Goteborg 1991 Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York 1990 Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York The Greenberg Gallery, St. Louis, Missouri Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri Schmidt/Markow Gallery, St. Louis, Missouri Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York Scott Hanson Gallery, New York 1988 Craig Cornelius Gallery, New York GROUP EXHIBITIONS: 2002 La Collezione Panza di Biumo, Gran Guardia Palace, Verona Works on Paper 8.3.2002-2.5.2002, Galerie Baumler, Regensburg Small Works Show, McClain Gallery, Houston Gallery Artists, McClain Gallery, Houston 2001 Pop Paintings: Andy Warhol/Ford Beckman, Galerie ATN, Hannover I Love New York, McClain Gallery, Houston 2000 Beckman, Malone and Twombly, Robert McClain & Co., Houston Beckman, Fleck, Palavrakis, Strawalde, Zimmer, Galerie Brennecke, Berlin 1999 New Work - New York , Robert McClain & Co., Houston 25 Years of Galerie Baumler, Regensburg Geometry as Design-Structures of Modern Art from Albers to Paik, Neue National Galerie, Berlin Ford Beckman: New Works, Robert McClain & Co., Houston 1998 Art is Fun, Life is Serious, Artscope, Bruxelles Master Drawings of the 20th Century, Galerie Baumler, Regensburg La Collezione Panza Di Biumo, Palazzo Ducale of Gubbio, Italy Small Works, Robert McClain & Co., Houston 1997 Abstraction Paintings and Sculpture, Robert McClain & Co., Houston Galerie Academia, Salzburg LICHT - RAUM - SCHWARZ, Ford Beckman, Antonio Catelani, Manfred Egender, Jonathan Lasker, Gunter Umberg, Berufsvereinigung Der Bildenden Kunstler Vorarlbergs, Kunstlerhaus Palais Thurn Und Taxis 1996 America Meets Europe, Galerie Baumler, Regensburg La Collezione Panza di Biumo, Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Trento e Roverto Kulturzerehen Krenz, Drozesan Museum Obermunster, Regensburg 1995 Andoe - Baechler - Beckman: Recent Editions, William Shearburn Gallery, St. Louis, Missouri Pierrot, Melancholie und Maske, Haus der Kunst, Munchen Colour aund Paint, Kunstmuseum St. Gallen A Passion For The New, New Art in Tel Aviv Collections, Tel Aviv Museum of Art (W)ho (W) are you?
