Lawrence Weiner (1942−2021), born in Bronx, New York.
Weiner attended the New York public school system. The late Fifties and early Sixties were spent traveling throughout North America (USA − Mexico and Canada) and the first presentation of the work was in Mill Valley, California in 1960. Lawrence Weiner divided his time between his studio in New York City and his boat in Amsterdam.
He participated in public and private projects and exhibitions in both the new and old world
maintaining that:
art is the empirical fact of the
relationships of objects to objects
in relation to human beings & not dependent upon
historical precedent for either use or legitimacy
