Joseph Kosuth Studio | London/New York

Joseph Kosuth (b 1945, USA) is one of the pioneers of Conceptual art and installation art, initiating language-based works and appropriation strategies in the 1960s. His work has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art. His more than fifty-year inquiry into the relation of language to art has taken the form of installations, museum exhibitions, public commissions and publications throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia, including seven Documenta(s) and nine Venice Biennale(s), one of which was presented in the Hungarian Pavilion (1993). In 2015 Kosuth revealed A Monument of Mines, a major site-specific installation for the new cultural center in Kongsberg, Norway. Recently, Kosuth unveiled ‘One Field to the Next’ a permanent 180 meter long work at the Taipei Main Station. In October 2016 Kosuth’s ni apparence ni illusion, which opened at the Musee du Louvre, Paris in 2009 was inaugurated as a permanent installation. Kosuth is currently working on a new public commission at the Miami Beach Convention Centre and his first publicly funded commission for a landmarked civic building in the United States, on the facade of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
