John Baldessari

🔳John Baldessari (born June 17, 1931) is an American conceptual artist. He lives and works in Santa Monica and Venice, California.

By blending photography, painting, and text, Baldessari’s work examines the plastic nature of artistic media while offering commentary on our contemporary culture. 

“I’ve often thought of myself as a frustrated writer,” he explained. 

“I consider a word and an image of equal weight, and a lot of my work comes out of that kind of thinking.”

"I would prefer to go to the source with Duchamp rather than credit Warhol as an influence."
