Reports of Lawrence Weiner:

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 texts.
