Mel Bochner

"A leading practitioner of conceptual art, Mel Bochner (b. 1940) was one of the first artists to introduce language into the visual field in the 1960s. Despite their significance, these contributions remain unexplored in art-historical scholarship. Mel Bachner: Language 1966-2006 includes over sixty works in a wide range of media and brings together for the first time an overview of the artist's language-based works from the past forty years."--Jacket.
