John Baldessari (1931-2020) was an influential American conceptual artist known for his pioneering work in the fields of conceptual art and photo-conceptualism. He was born on June 17, 1931, in National City, California, and passed away on January 2, 2020.

Baldessari’s art often incorporated text, photography, and a wide range of imagery to explore the relationships between language and image and the way meaning is constructed in art. He frequently used humour and satire to challenge conventional ideas of art, making his work both thought-provoking and approachable.

One of his most famous works is the series “Wrong,” in which he challenged common assumptions about correctness by showing statements that appeared to be incorrect. He also created works where he painted colourful dots over the faces of individuals in photographs, questioning the nature of identity and personal expression.

Baldessari was a prominent figure in the Conceptual Art movement and an influential teacher. He taught art for many years at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and significantly impacted the development of several generations of artists. His innovative approach to art and pedagogy continues to be celebrated, and he is considered a key figure in the development of contemporary art in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
