Joseph Kosuth (/kəˈsuːt, -ˈsuːθ/; born January 31, 1945), is an American conceptual artist. He lives in New York and London, after residing in various cities in Europe, including Ghent, Rome and Berlin.
Born in Toledo, Ohio, Kosuth had a French/English/Cherokee mother and a Hungarian father. (A relative, Lajos Kossuth, achieved fame for his role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.) Joseph Kosuth attended the Toledo Museum School of Design from 1955 to 1962 and studied privately under the Belgian painter Line Bloom Draper. In 1963 Kosuth enrolled at the Cleveland Institute of Art on a scholarship. He spent the following year in Paris and traveled throughout Europe and North Africa. He moved to New York in 1965 and attended the School of Visual Arts there until 1967. From 1971 he studied anthropology and philosophy at the New School for Social Research, New York.
Kosuth belongs to a broadly international generation of conceptual artists that began to emerge in the mid-1960s, stripping art of personal emotion, reducing it to nearly pure information or idea and greatly playing down the art object. Along with Lawrence Weiner, On Kawara, Hanne Darboven and others, Kosuth gives special prominence to language. His art generally strives to explore the nature of art rather than producing what is traditionally called "art". Kosuth's works are frequently self-referential. He remarked in 1969:

What is CONCEPTUAL ART? What does CONCEPTUAL ART mean? CONCEPTUAL ART meaning & definition. Conceptual art, sometimes simply called Conceptualism, is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Many works of conceptual art, sometimes called installations, may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of written instructions. This method was fundamental to American artist Sol LeWitt's definition of Conceptual art, one of the first to appear in print: In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea bec...

Después de todo, después de un largo día de trabajo y otras obligaciones, no hay nada más relajante que volver a casa y poder disfrutar de un poco de paz y tranquilidad. Con eso se dice, es importante que su hogar refleje el tipo de entorno que desea estar en, y esto es algo que el equipo de Estudio Cristiano Wassmann entiende completamente. El proyecto del estudio, “Joseph Kosuth Loft,” se trata de mostrar un diseño fresco y moderno que ha transformado un espacio tipo loft tradicional en algo diferente a todo lo que he visto nunca. . Con el uso de separadores de vidrio, el loft se ha dividido en varias zonas dife...
