Bruce Nauman

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Multi-faceted in his approach to art, Bruce Nauman is celebrated for his works across a wide range of media including performance, sculpture, and his trademark use of neon. Nauman’s work is celebrated for its humour and irony – some works employ these themes to an unsettling degree forcing the viewer to confront their own physicality, other works are just plain funny – neon works such as Run From Fear, Fun From Rear highlight the metaphorical and semantic possibilities that arise from a simple and subtle rearrangement of letters.

«What I am really concerned about is what art is supposed to be
- and can become.»
Bruce Nauman

Commenting on his expansive range of disciplines and mediums, Nauman recalled his profound realisation of ”If I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

« And I don't have any specific steps to take because I don't start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it's enough and you can leave it alone.»
Bruce Nauman

At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.” Many of Nauman’s works tackle the themes of human psychology with often disturbing effects – Changing Light Corridor with Rooms is one among many ‘claustrophobic’ works and consists of a long, enclosed corridor, flanked either side by two rooms that have been installed with flashing bulbs, timed to flicker at different rates.

Artwork by Agnes Martin

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
