Olivier Mosset

A founding member of the BMPT art group, Olivier Mosset is a visual artist renowned for his monochrome paintings. The BMPT group was comprised of Mosset, Toroni, Parmentier and Buren – as a collective, they argued that the finished art project itself was more important than its original authorship, and often implied that they had created each other’s works; asides from this ambiguity, Mosset received acclaim for the hundreds of Neo-expressionist monochrome paintings such as Caroline, as well as his work as a founding member of the New York Radical Painting group. Mosset also received recognition for his ice sculptures created later in his career – known as Toblerones, these sculptures referenced the Swiss anti-road blocks created and used during the second World War.
