Joseph Kosuth

Joseph Kosuth is one of the pioneers of conceptual art and installation art. His more than forty-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 Documentas and eight Venice Biennales. Awards include the Brandeis Award, 1990; Frederick Wiseman Award, 1991; the Menzione d'Onore at the Venice Biennale, 1993; and the Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres from the French government in 1993.
