Lawrence Weiner (b. 1942 USA, d. 2021 USA) was a pioneering American conceptual artist known for his text-based works that challenged traditional notions of art and its materiality. A central figure in the Conceptual Art movement, Weiner’s practice centered around language as a primary medium, with his art often taking the form of short, evocative statements displayed on walls, floors, or public spaces.

These texts, which could be instructions, declarations, or descriptions, emphasized the idea that the concept of the artwork was as important—if not more so—than its physical manifestation. Weiner's work redefined the relationship between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer, proposing that the interpretation and understanding of art lie in the mind of the beholder. His influential career spanned over five decades, with his works exhibited in major institutions like the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Modern in London, establishing him as one of the most important figures in contemporary art.

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
