Apple was one of the artists who pioneered the use of neon in art. [11] This was seen in the 1965 exhibitions Apples to Xerox and Neon Rainbows, both at The Bianchini Gallery. Then in 1967, the exhibition Unidentified Fluorescent Objects ( UFOs), which showed a collection of neon light sculptures, was held at the Howard Wise Gallery, a fore-runner to the organisation Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI). [12] One of Apple's UFOs was included in a 2013 exhibition which reconsidered the influence of the Howard Wise Gallery. [13] [14] It's great and I'm delighted," said Bates.

A pivotal event was the 1964 exhibit "The American Supermarket", a show held in Paul Bianchini's Upper East Side gallery. The show was presented as a typical small supermarket environment, except that everything in it – the produce, canned goods, meat, posters on the wall, etc. – was created by six prominent pop artists of the time, including Billy Apple, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselmann, Jasper Johns, Mary Inman, James Rosenquist and Robert Watts.

He had a spell when he was playing in tournaments just when there was no rugby on or it was cancelled,’ Bates said.This was a conceptual project that blurred the line between art and commerce with the cider granted the aura of ‘art’ because it was the produced by the artist to his specifications. He overcame some leading names in the process, defeating seeded players Co Stompe and Jamie Caven to reach the last 16, where he overcame his fellow countryman Richie Burnett 6-3. In 1962, Bates conceived Billy Apple: he bleached his hair and eyebrows with Lady Clairol Instant Creme Whip and changed his name to Billy Apple. Apple had his first solo show in 1963 – Apple Sees Red: Live Stills – in London . In 1962 after graduating he notoriously changed his name and altered his appearance becoming ‘Billy Apple ®’ in a self-conscious art action that doubled as a canny exercise in re-branding. In 1964 he moved to New York working with Andy Warhol in the pivotal exhibition The American Supermarket including Oldenburg, Wesselmann and Johns. In 1969, the artist opened Apple at 161 West 23rd Street, one of the six not-for-profit spaces that established NewYork’s Conceptual Art movement.

He made a great impression on the circuit in 2006, winning the John Smiths Singles in February and May's Le Skratch Sarantos Retsinas Memorial event in Montreal. He also reached two Regional Finals of the UK Open in March (losing to Chris Mason and to van Barneveld in November. He reached two PDPA Players Championship finals in 2006 losing to Colin Lloyd in the Isle of Wight in June, but beat Phil Taylor to take his biggest title to date in the Netherlands event in November. Apple was one of the artists who pioneered the use of neon in art works (Apples to Xerox and Neon Rainbows). Other exhibitions and series include Art for Sale, The Given as an Art Political Statement, Transactions, Golden Rectangle, The Art Circuit etc. Bates conceived a new artistic persona and on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1962, he bleached his hair and eyebrows with Lady Clairol Instant Cremé Whip and became Billy Apple. [9] He announced his self-branding name change publicly in 1963 in his first solo show – Apple Sees Red: Live Stills – at Victor Musgrave's Gallery One, London. He moved to New York City in 1964. [10] [2] In 2018, Apple was named as an Icon by the Arts Foundation of New Zealand, an honour limited to 20 living New Zealanders. [55] Death [ edit ]I know I’m never going to be world champion because of my age, although you never know… But I just want to have a good go. My aim is to be on TV for one more time. I use the golden ratio as a readymade conceptual system, why invent something when there’s something this good around… so I use it for compositions, my business plan, in blends of coffee, tea and cider or for the tones of paint colours and so on. The deeper I go the more things I find for it.”

This conceptual art project explores the processes and difficulties of breeding the perfect apple, a new cultivar developed with Plant & Food Research in New Zealand. Although the Billy Apple® cultivar did not make it past the final hurdle and go into commercial production, it did lead to the artist becoming a registered trademark and making a series of artworks about the project. I played him in the final one day in Aberdare somewhere, he wanted 160, he hit the first one in treble 20, turned around and laughed, hit the second, turned around and laughed and then hit double top. I thought, you…no I won’t swear. I rung him the morning after and said to him, “Alright world number one and world champion,” he said, “Doesn’t it sound good?” Apple died on the morning of 6 September 2021 following a "short illness". [56] He was 85. [3] See also [ edit ]a b "Billy Apple, 'giant of New Zealand art', has died". The New Zealand Herald. 5 September 2021 . Retrieved 6 September 2021.
