Allen Ruppersberg
Born 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio (US)
Lives and works in New York and Los Angeles (US)
“The internationally renowned conceptual artist Allen Ruppersberg belongs to the first generation of American artists whose works engaged critically with the means and methods of mass media. Throughout his life's work, itself established as an oeuvre since the late 1960s, Allen Ruppersberg has developed a complex dialogue on the dialectics of high and low culture, public and private spaces and the relationship between art works, multiples and everyday objects. Together with his many-facetted work developed in Los Angeles and latterly also in New York and Europe, Allen Ruppersberg represents a fundamental, pioneering phenomenon in the transatlantic discourse on Conceptual Art.”
