Gary Kuehn
Gary Kuehn is an American artist who pioneered the Postminimal and Process Art movements of the 1960s. His work is known for its fluid use of materials that undermined the psychology of dominant Minimal Art practices.[16] Using a straightforward and reduced formal language, Kuehn subverts pure geometric forms with content-driven, metaphorical concepts. Although Kuehn works with a wide range of materials, the unifying theme throughout his discursive practices is a tension between forms as evident in his Black Paintings and Melt Pieces. In 1992 he received the Francis J. Greenburger Foundation Award.
