John Anthony Baldessari - United States

John Baldessari. American. Born 1931. Baldessari is an Blue Chip American Conceptual artist known for his pioneering use of appropriated imagery. 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." Through a diverse practice that includes paintings, sculpture, and installations, the artist shaped the Conceptual Art landscape alongside Joseph Kosuth and Hans Haacke, garnering early acclaim for his signature use of colorful dots atop photographic images. Born on June 17, 1931 in National City, CA, Baldessari has been instrumental in the West Coast art scene and influenced many younger artists through his long teaching career. While at CalArts in the 1970s, he taught David Salle, Mike Kelley, and Tony Oursler, among others. The celebrated artist is a recipient of the Americans for the Arts Lifetime Achievement Award and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement awarded by the Venice Biennale. In 2010, the artist was the subject of a retrospective "John Baldessari: Pure Beauty" which included more than 150 works made between 1962 and 2010. He currently lives in Santa Monica, CA and works in Venice, CA. Baldessari's works are currently held in the collections several museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others.
