Kitaj, and others in the British Pop Art movement. Subsequently he has worked in other media, drawing, printmaking, film, books, three dimensional objects, installations, and photography among them. His graphic work with popular music groups such as The Clash and with David Bowie have brought his work to a wider audience. Boshier was awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal College of Art, London in 2016, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017, and an Honorary Doctorate of the Arts from Solent University in Southampton, UK, in 2021. In addition to his art practice, Boshier has a long and distinguished record as an educator, teaching at the Central School of Art and Design, London, 1963–1979, the Royal College of Art, London, 1973–1979, the University of Houston,1980–1992, and the CalArts in Los Angeles, from 1997 to the present.
