Pierre Huyghe

Pierre Huyghe is a French artist born on September 11, 1962, in Paris, France. He is known for his interdisciplinary works that combine various media such as film, sculpture, performance, and installation. Huyghe's works often explore complex ideas around time, memory, perception, and human consciousness.

Huyghe studied at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris before beginning his career as an artist in the late 1980s. Since then, he has exhibited his works in numerous solo and group shows around the world, including at major institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Some of Huyghe's most notable works include "The Host and the Cloud," a multimedia installation that took place over a period of three years at the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, and "Untilled," a sculpture of a reclining figure with a living beehive for a head, which was displayed at the Documenta 13 exhibition in Kassel, Germany. In 2017, Huyghe was awarded the Nasher Prize for Sculpture, which recognized his contributions to the field of contemporary art.
