Lawrence Weiner
LAWRENCE WEINER "SALT OF THE EARTH", 1996
Lawrence Weiner (b. 1942) is one of the most-distinctive American conceptual artists.
His philosophy and aesthetic developed concurrently to Sol LeWitt yet Weiner has focused far more on (text-based) installation - typically in public spaces.
Exhibited at Leo Castelli during the 1970's, Weiner has been an institutional darling with major exhibitions at most of the world's top museums.
As a significant portion of his output is temporary installation, his multiples (which are few and far between) are sought-after and cherished by collectors.
This print was published in conjunction with the group exhibition "Travaux Publics [Public Works]" at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands. The exhibition and portfolio included works by other artists, like Jenny Holzer.
Caviar20 has been a long-time fan of Lawrence Weiner - as anyone interested in Jenny Holzer and Barbara Kruger can see the traces of his influence on their work.
