Footnote:
Largely unknown, Baynard was a graphic designer for The Beatles, a clothing designer for Jimi Hendrix and he featured in Jack Smith's incendiary film ‘Flaming Creatures’ (1963). Raised in Washington DC, Baynard lived in Paris and London during the 1960s. After moving back to the US, the artist rose to prominence during the 1970s and his first solo exhibition took place at New York's Willard Gallery in 1971 on the recommendation of Agnes Martin. Baynard went on to have exhibitions at galleries including Betty Parsons Gallery, New York (1973); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (1977); John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco (1980); and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York (1980/81). courtesy of the Stephen Friedman Gallery
