American artist William Copley (1919–1996) is a creator of madcap narrative paintings, drawings, and installations. Known by his nom de plume CPLY, he was a self-taught artist pushing the limits of art-world decorum, as well as a collector, patron, and connector of some of the most important artists of the 20th century, in particular European Surrealists and American Pop artists.
CPLY 1919-1996: The Art of William Copley, was shown at the Forum of Contemporary Art, St. Louis in 1999.
