Meanwhile, in the life of James Rosenquist
The whole life1962
First solo exhibition at the Green Gallery
In 1962 Rosenquist’s first solo exhibition was held at the Green Gallery in New York and attracted great attention from the public and the press.
1963
A second Green Gallery show and “Young Talent USA”
In 1963 Rosenquist had his second solo exhibition at the Green Gallery and was selected for Art in America’s “Young Talent USA”.
1964
Meets Andy Warhol
Critics grouped Rosenquist with the Pop artists because he used recognisable imagery, but he did not meet Andy Warhol until 1964 and did not know Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein very well: in his words, they all emerged separately.

In 1965 Rosenquist visited Russia for the first time, flying privately to Leningrad to see his friend Evgeny Rukhin.
1966
Three solo shows: Paris, New York, Rome
