By the mid-1960's Clay Walker was at the apex of his career. He had participated in more than 200 shows throughout the U.S and Europe - showing with the likes of Warhol, Rauschenburg, and his friend Picasso. He had attended Ecole de Beaux Artes, earned his B.A. and M.F.A in Ohio, and held numerous teaching and administrative posts across the country, including a stint as director of the San Antonio Institute of Art. Walker's output was prolific and notable. Artists traded their work for his, while venerable institutions including MOMA, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Library of Congress, and The Butler Museum of American Art were also making acquisitions.His sales to private collectors by this time were also brisk. In fact, it wasn't unusual for a gallery to sell out the same evening a Walker show opened. But commercial success was not something he welcomed, and as the years passed, he became increasingly concerned with maintaining his integrity as an artist . He openly expressed fears of truly "selling out." And so in 1968 Clay Walker stopped exhibiting. For the next 40 years his work would be confined to his studio and home, accessible only to close friends and family - those he trusted most to appreciate it.
