Bruce Nauman

Bruce Nauman emerged in the late 1960s Los Angeles art scene, as part of a generation of artists who dramatically expanded the possibilities of sculpture and performance. His emergence also coincided with the ascent of gestalt psychology, behaviorism and philosophers following in the wake of Wittgenstein's philosophies of language. This book looks at this celebrated artist's work in performance, drawing, video, printmaking and neon installation, in the light of its relationship to psychology.
