Daniel Buren

Daniel Buren is a French conceptual artist. He is one of the founders of the art group BMPT. Considered to be one of the most 'expensive' living French artists.

Since 1966, Daniel Buren created an aesthetic form which allowed him to concentrate exclusively on the position of the artwork in space: he focused on a series of alternating white and coloured stripes. This creative strategy became his hallmark.

Buren's striped columns (composition "Two Levels"), installed in 1986 in the courtyard of the Parisian Palais-Royal, which provoked protest from Parisians, later became a prominent landmark in the French capital.
