Shaw earned his BFA at the University of Michigan in 1974 and co-founded the experimental group Destroy All Monsters with Mike Kelley, Niagara and Cary Loren. MSU's Broad Museum explored that shared history in Michigan Stories: Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw.
His Thrift Store Paintings collects works by anonymous amateurs. The New Museum gave him the survey The End Is Here, and MoMA and the Met hold his work.
