59 SAM DURANT

Lamp Shelf, 1994/96
collage on photocopy, 8" x 10"

Inspired by postwar American history, and the tensions between our social ideas, identity, and mythology, Sam Durant creates startling and often caustic associations and collisions between fine art and popular culture. An influential member of a generation of West Coast artists that have come to prominence in the last 10 years, Durant lives and works in Los Angeles, where he is represented by Blum & Poe. He has exhibited work in dozens of group shows in the United States, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Scotland, and Sweden. He has had solo exhibitions in galleries in the United States as well as in Europe and Japan.
