Jonathan Borofsky

Jonathan Borofsky is an American artist known for his public sculptures and installations that explore themes of human consciousness, individuality, and interconnectedness.

Borofsky studied at Carnegie Mellon University and Yale University. In the 1970s, he gained recognition for his conceptual and performance works, which often incorporated elements of language, text, and repetition.

In the 1980s, Borofsky began creating large-scale public sculptures, many of which feature human figures or silhouettes. One of his most famous works is "Molecule Man," a 100-foot-tall sculpture of three interconnected figures located in Berlin, Germany.

Borofsky's work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul. He has also created public artworks in cities such as New York, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv.

In addition to his art, Borofsky is known for his interest in meditation and spirituality, which he often incorporates into his work. He has published several books on these topics.

Borofsky continues to live and work in Ogunquit, Maine, where he maintains a studio and creates new works of art.
