Biography:
Nauman’s work incorporate a wide range of media including, sculpture, photography, video, print making and performance. Born in Indiana Nauman studied art at the University of California and during the sixties devoted himself to sculpture. Early in his career Nauman espoused the view that ‘If I was an artist and I was in the studio then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art’. This led to a series of videos in which he filmed himself doing banal tasks in real time. Nauman was also interested in language and the use of visual puns and his use of neon recurs regularly in his work over the decades. In 2004 Time Magazine named Nauman as one of their 100 most influential people in 2004 and in 2006. Artfacts.net ranked Nauman as the number one among living artists followed by Gerhard Richter and Robert Rauschenberg. Nauman is represented in most major Art Galleries of Modern Art worldwide.
