Untitled (Head top right Toothpaste/Toothbrush/Pyramid) (271 - A G) 1962

Derek Boshier’s 1962 “Untitled (Head Top Right Toothpaste/Toothbrush/Pyramid) (271 - A G)” is a vibrant and playful work that showcases his signature Pop Art style. This particular piece features a bright pink background with bold blue and red lines forming a toothpaste tube squeezing out toothpaste onto a toothbrush, with an array of white toothbrush bristles. At the top, a blue shape reminiscent of a head hovers above, while palm trees and a pyramid add a whimsical, almost surreal element to the composition. The seemingly mundane subject matter, elevated through the artist’s use of vivid colors and bold lines, reflects the spirit of the Pop Art movement.
