Berggruen Gallery is proud to have hosted an artist talk with Michael Craig-Martin, moderated by Emma Acker, Curator of American Art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, on Saturday, October 21st, 2023.
Michael Craig-Martin, born in 1941 in Dublin, Ireland, and educated in the United States, where he studied Fine Art at the Yale School of Art and Architecture, has been a prominent figure in British conceptual art since relocating to Britain in 1966. Craig-Martin's career has been marked by exhibitions and installations worldwide, including institutions such as the Centre Pompidou and MoMA. In 1998, Craig-Martin represented Britain in the 23rd Sao Paulo Biennial. He served as a Tate Trustee from 1989 to 1999 and received a CBE honor in 2000. In 2006, he was elected as a Royal Academician (RA), and in 2016, he was knighted in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his services to art. Craig-Martin's influence on generations of young British artists is notable through his tenure as a professor at Goldsmiths College, where he taught from 1974 to 1988 and later from 1994 to 2000. In the fall of 2024, the Royal Academy of Arts, London, will present a retrospective, Michael Craig-Martin, the largest exhibition of the artist’s work in the United Kingdom. Craig-Martin is represented by Gagosian and Cristea Roberts in London. He lives and works in London and Venice.
