Homage to Vincent van Gogh

Homage to Vincent van Gogh for Van Goghmuseum Amsterdam Copyright by courtesy of the artist / Art Unlimited Amsterdam. Lawrence Charles Weiner 1942-1921 He lived and worked in Amsterdam and New York City. One of the leading figures of the Conceptual art scene in the late 1960s, Weiner was among the first to propose a new relationship to art and to redefine the status of the artist. Weiner’s body of work has at its core a fundamental questioning of the conventions of objecthood in relation to the producer and its viewer. He used language as the primary medium for his works since the late 1960s. Presented in capital letters, his structures consisting of language, or text fragments, often accompanied by graphic marks and lines, have been exhibited around the world and interpreted into numerous languages.
