A Rose Has No Teeth

Description

'A Rose Has No Teeth: Bruce Nauman in the 1960s' is a major exhibition of early work by Bruce Nauman, widely acknowledged as one of America's greatest living artists.

Nauman's pioneering explorations redefined artistic practice. He was one of the first artists to work in video, to use his body as a medium for his art, and to push the boundaries between art and language. 'A Rose Has No Teeth' looks at the beginnings of Nauman's career and his early, formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was during this time that he developed many of the groundbreaking practices in sculpture, performance, and film and video art that define his influential and iconoclastic career.

Calling his work "more pertinent than ever," the New York Times recently stated: "A pioneer in Post-Minimalist video and performance art, and a sculptor of seemingly limitless versatility, Mr. Nauman has been famous and critically admired since he arrived on the scene … and his work has exerted an important influence on contemporary art ever since." Vanity Fair has described Nauman as "a national treasure, the most American of American artists, and one of the most celebrated, at home and abroad."

'A Rose Has No Teeth' features more than 100 works, several of which have never been exhibited before, and includes Nauman's early experiments in neon and fiberglass sculpture and video.
