Lawrence Weiner is a central figure of conceptual art, his work has been on view at nearly every major museum of contemporary art in the United States and abroad and was the subject of a retrospective last year at the New York's Whitney Museum and MOCA, Los Angeles. Utilizing typographic texts, Weiner investigates forms of display and distribution challenging traditional assumptions about the nature of the art object

His mantra,
ART IS THE EMPIRICAL FACT OF THE 
RELATIONSHIPS OF OBJECTS TO OBJECTS IN RELATION TO HUMAN BEINGS & NOT DEPENDANT UPON HISTORICAL PRECEDENT FOR EITHER USE OR LEGITIMACY
