布鲁斯·瑙曼（Bruce Nauman，1941-）是20世纪后半叶至当代艺术最重要的美国艺术家之一，在世界当代艺术史上属于第一梯队大师。他跨越摄影、录像、雕塑、装置、霓虹灯和行为艺术等媒介，对观念艺术、身体艺术、录像艺术及装置艺术产生了深远影响。1999年获威尼斯双年展金狮奖，2004年获Praemium Imperiale，2009年代表美国参加威尼斯双年展并获金狮奖。

《Bound to Fail》（Self-Portrait as a Fountain），1966是瑙曼早期极具代表性的摄影作品之一。艺术家以自己的身体模仿喷泉喷水，将传统艺术史中的“人体—雕塑—喷泉”意象转化为带有幽默和挑衅意味的观念表达。作品将身体、行为、摄影和艺术家身份结合起来，体现瑙曼“艺术家做什么都可以成为艺术”的重要观念，对后来的身体艺术、行为艺术和观念摄影具有重要影响。

瑙曼作品被纽约现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）、大都会艺术博物馆（The Met）、古根海姆博物馆、芝加哥艺术学院、泰特现代美术馆、蓬皮杜中心、洛杉矶县艺术博物馆（LACMA）等世界重要机构收藏。其原版摄影作品及早期历史版本具有很高的当代艺术史、观念艺术、摄影史与博物馆收藏价值。

Bruce Nauman｜Master of Contemporary Art
Bruce Nauman (1941-) is one of the most important American artists from the late 20th century to the present and ranks among the first tier of masters in contemporary art history. Working across photography, video, sculpture, installation, neon, and performance, he has had a profound influence on conceptual art, body art, video art, and installation practice. He received the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1999, the Praemium Imperiale in 2004, and represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 2009, where he again received the Golden Lion.

Bound to Fail (Self-Portrait as a Fountain), 1966 is one of Nauman’s important early photographic works. The artist uses his own body to imitate a fountain, transforming the traditional art-historical relationship between the body, sculpture, and fountain into a humorous and provocative conceptual gesture. By combining **the body, action, photography, and artistic identity, the work reflects Nauman’s influential idea that almost anything an artist does can become art. It had a significant impact on subsequent body art, performance art, and conceptual photography.

Nauman’s work is held by major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). His original photographs and early historical editions hold significant art-historical, conceptual-art, photographic, and museum-collection value. >>返回 >>
