Lawrence Weiner, was born February 10, 1942, in the Bronx, New York. In
1968 he discovered that language could be used as the primary vehicle
for his work. Like other Conceptual artists who gained international
recognition in the late 1960s, Weiner investigated forms of display and
distribution that challenge traditional notions that define the nature
of the art object. The wall installations that have been a primary
medium for Weiner since the 1970s consist solely of words in a specific
text painted on walls. His work focuses on the potential for language
to serve as an art form. In the succeeding decades, Weiner explored the
interaction of punctuation, shapes, and color to serve as inflections
of meaning for his texts. Weiner has and has been a primary influence
for many artists of subsequent generations of a text-based conceptual
art. Shapes, and color to serve as inflections of meaning for his
