Born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Rosenquist was encouraged from a young age in his artistic endeavors by his mother who was a painter. During the early 1950s, he studied painting at the University of Minnesota and he later moved to New York City to study at the Art Students League under a scholarship. While studying, he began working as a sign painter painting billboards and other signs in Time Square and display windows on 5th Avenue. His time as a sign painter created an artistic foundation that segued into Pop Art with his first one-man show happening in 1962 at Green Gallery. He exhibited widely during his lifetime with numerous retrospectives of his works, including retrospectives at the Whitney, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, among others.
