About
Why this artist matters now
Herbert Zimmermann was a German conceptual artist who worked with ideas and language as primary material during the 1950s and 1960s. His practice anticipated core concerns of later conceptual art, including the dematerialization of the art object and the prioritization of concept over execution. Active during a formative period for the movement, Zimmermann treated linguistic and ideational systems as sculptural subjects in their own right.
