A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Joseph Kosuth (Toledo, Ohio, 1945) is one of the pioneers of conceptual and installation art. His works are based on the language of initiation and appropriation strategies of the 1960s. Through his work, Kosuth has systematically explored the production and role of language and meaning in art. His investigations into the relationship between art and language, conducted over a period of more than 40 years, have taken the form of installations, museum exhibitions, public commissions and publications throughout Europe, America and Asia, including his participation at five editions of Documenta in Kassel and four editions of the Venice Biennial, where on one occasion he presented his work in the Hungarian Pavilion (1993). He has received a number of prizes and recognitions, including the following: Brandeis Award (1990), Frederick Weisman Award (1991), Menzione d¿onore at the Venice Biennial (1993), and the distinction of Chevalier de l¿Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, granted by the French Government (1993). In 1968 he received a grant from the Cassandra Foundation. In June 1999 the French Government issued a three-franc stamp commemorating his work in the city of Figeac. In February 2001 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Philosophy and Letters by the Università di Bolognia. In 2001 his novel Purloined was published by Salon Verlag. In October 2003 he was awarded Austria¿s highest distinction, the Decoration of Honour in Gold for services to the Republic of Austria, in recognition of his achievements in relation to science and culture.
