Biography
The American sculptor, photographer and performance artist, Bruce Nauman began his studies in Mathematics and only later moved into the field of art. He attended the University of Wisconsin (1960-64) and the University of California in Davis (1965-66), after which he exhibited some enigmatic sculptures in fibre glass. From 1968 to 1982, he took part in documenta 4 and 7, in Kassel. In 1991, he received the Max Beckmann Prize from the city of Frankfurt. A year later, he took part in documenta 9 and, in 1993 and 1996, he had two major retrospectives, at the Reina Sofia Art Centre in Madrid and at the Kunsthaus in Zurich. His multimedia art is an art of exploration: he uses himself and his own body as a means of questioning the parameters of art and the role of the artist, thus being considered the pioneer of Body Art.
