Early life

Joseph Glasco was born in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, but grew up in Texas.

New York

Glasco moved to New York and In 1949, after his first one-person exhibition in New York City, became the youngest artist represented at that time in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Glasco's work has often been compared to the work of Jackson Pollock and in the mid-1950s, he became friends with Pollock, sharing an intimacy over the shared themes of each other's work.

Glasco moved back to Texas in the early 1980s, locating in Galveston and was an important influence on a number of artists who came to public attention in that decade including George Condo, Julian Schnabel and Michael Tracy.
