A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In addition to a fruitful boxing career, Buddy Baer appeared in seventeen films, largely in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as several television episodes.
