About the Artist - John Latham Part 2/2
John Latham (1921–2006) was a British conceptual artist and writer known for his pioneering contributions to conceptual art and his unorthodox approach to artistic practice. Born on February 23, 1921, in Livingstone, Zambia, Latham studied painting and sculpture at Chelsea College of Arts and later at the University of Oxford.
Latham's work often challenged traditional notions of art, incorporating elements of science, philosophy, and literature. He co-founded the Artist Placement Group, advocating for artists to work in industry and government, influencing social change. Notable works include his "One Second Drawings" and the "Skoob Towers" made from pulped books.
Throughout his career, Latham faced controversy, such as his infamous "Art and Culture" event in 1966, where he chewed and then returned a copy of Clement Greenberg's art theory book. His ideas influenced the development of conceptual art and had a lasting impact on subsequent generations of artists. Latham's interdisciplinary and boundary-pushing work continues to be recognized for its innovative nature and critical engagement with the nature of art and the universe.
