About the Item
Signed AP (Artist's Proof)
Michael Druks - painter, sculptor, and conceptual, video, performance and installation artist - was born in Jerusalem September 26, 1940. He has lived in London since 1972 and is a British citizen.
Druks grew up in Tel Aviv where he studied at the Art Academy and became involved in avant-garde art and theatre circles. He arranged group exhibitions at the Tel Aviv Museum and the Gordon Gallery, based around concerns for the natural environment, including 'Plus Air Pollution' at the Gordon Gallery, and 'Environment Paintings and Sculptures' at the Billy Rose Sculpture Pavilion at the Israel Museum in late 1970, the year Druks received the Creative Artists Working Grant from the Sharett Foundation Fund, and had his environmental installation shown at the Israel Museum. In 1971, he participated in the 'Concepts and Information Show' at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem.
By the late 1960s, Druks was established as a leading young Israeli artist and decided to travel abroad. He arrived in Europe around 1970, and after a period in Holland, settled in England where he became known for his conceptual work, with solo exhibitions in the 1970s at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; The Whitechapel Gallery, London; De Appel, Amsterdam; and the ICA, London.
Druks’s print 'Druksland: Physical and Social' (1974), a conceptual map, has become an iconic image in both Israeli and international art, featured in numerous exhibitions, books, magazines, exhibition catalogues and posters.
Since the early 1980s, Druks has concentrated primarily on painting, making works he says are “details detached from a context” that require time and active participation from the viewer.
Michael Druks' work has been exhibited in The Georges Pompidou Centre, Paris; ICA London; Whitechapel Gallery London; Serpentine Gallery London; Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; documenta 6, Kassel; Cologne, Maastricht, Berlin, Brussels, Montreal, Bern, Buenos Aires, Caracas and Sao Paulo.
