Joseph Kosuth January 31, 1945-Present------------------------- Kosuth is an artist that uses a variety of mediums and was born in Toledo, Ohio.. Kosuth helped make installation artwork as we think of it since the late 1960’s. He explored language and appropriation to express his own ideas. He was first a painter, but began to make conceptual work the late 60’s. Kosuth's art explores the nature of art rather than making what is traditionally called "art". He experiments with representation in his work by having one subject represented in different ways.Kos works reflect on himself.
