Anthony Ausgang

Anthony Ausgang was born in Trinidad and Tobago in 1959 and his family moved to Houston, Texas in the early 1960s. After a short stint studying art at The University Of Texas in Austin, he moved to Los Angeles and began classes at The Otis Art Institute. In 1990, he had his first solo show at Zero One Gallery and began designing record covers, posters and working as a consultant on computer generated animation. In 1993, Ausgang was included in the Laguna Beach Art Museum's seminal exhibit Kustom Kulture, which investigated art influenced by gearhead car culture. In 2009, his work was included in Apocalypse Wow! at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome in Italy, and in late 2012, Ausgang was the featured international artist at the Rewind show in Bologna celebrating the 50th anniversary of Fender guitar in Italy. Vacation from Reality is a publication of his major artworks up to 2007.
