Harold Cohen Art
British, 1928-2016
Harold Cohen was a British-born artist who is credited with creating the computer system called AARON, a program designed to produce art autonomously. His work dwells in the intersection of computer artificial intelligence and art, and caused a great deal of attention, leading to exhibitions in many important museums.
Cohen was born in London to Polish-Russian parents. He was educated at the Slade School of Fine Art.
Cohen went to the United States as a visiting lecturer at the University of California, San Diego in 1968, but he was given the rank of professor and stayed on for nearly three decades, part of the time as chairman of the Visual Arts Department. In addition, Cohen served as director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts at University of California, San Diego from 1992 to 1998.
After his retirement from UCSD, he continued to work on AARON and produce new artwork in his studio in Encinitas, California. His partner was the prominent Japanese poet Hiromi Itō.

Title: Erebos
Signed, titled, dated ‘91 and inscribed P/A in pencil (lower center)
Screenprint on paper
23⅝ by 22⅜ in. / 60 by 56.8 cm.
Executed in 1991, this work is an artist’s proof from an edition of 35 plus 1 artist’s proof.
Provenance: Private Collection, Venezuela - Acquired from the above by the present owner - Sotheby's Auction
“The first duty of the creator: restlessness,” Gerd Leufert wrote in 1985, looking back on his 30-year career as an artist, designer, museum worker, and professor of art in Venezuela.1 Bridging the worlds of commerce and culture in Caracas, Leufert’s impact on art and design owed to his interdisciplinary approach: the influence of cutting-edge developments in abstract art appeared in his graphic design, while the efficiency and bold contrast of mid-century design characterized his paintings.
An immigrant born in German-controlled Lithuania at the cusp of the first World War, Leufert studied arts and design in Hannover, Mainz, and, finally, in Munich with the German typographer Fritz H...
