In his long career as an artist of international renown, Daniel Buren (1938) received many acknowledgements and prizes among which the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1986 and the Praemium Imperiale for painting by the Japan Art Foundation in 2007.
After his studies at the Ecole des Meteris d’Art and at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, in the middle Sixties he started to perform public works, installations and exhibitions all over the world. At the beginning of his artistic career, Buren carried out a series of experimentations on the boundary of painting, sculpture and cinema. His first solo exhibition at the Galleria Apollinaire in Milan (1968) was followed by his participation in the 5th International Exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York (1971) and in Documenta V curated by Harald Szeemann in 1972, where his prestige in conceptual art was acknowledged. .
