William Quigley (b. 1961, Philadelphia) is an American painter and multidisciplinary creative whose career bridges portraiture, abstraction, and cultural commentary. Trained at Philadelphia College of Art, Tyler School of Art in Rome, the University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia University, Quigley debuted in 1985 alongside Andy Warhol in Henry S. McNeil’s “Images of a Child’s World,” quickly gaining exposure with New York’s downtown scene and figures such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel. Best known for his energetic “Boxer” and “Civil War” series, Quigley combines gestural mark-making with historical and pop-culture iconography, reflecting on struggle, heroism, and American identity. His extensive portrait commissions include Presidents Clinton and Bush, Muhammad Ali, Shaquille O’Neal, and Robert Downey Jr., underscoring his crossover appeal between fine art, music, and film. International residencies—from Joan Miró’s studio in Mallorca to projects in India and Venezuela—inform a practice grounded in travel and experimentation. Quigley’s works reside in more than 600 private and institutional collections worldwide; he continues to paint and curate from studios in New York City and East Hampton, maintaining his Skrapper initiative that fuses art, music, and philanthropy.
