Lawrence Weiner (February 10, 1942 — December 2, 2021) is regarded as a founding figure of Postminimalism’s Conceptual art in the 1960s, which included artists like Douglas Huebler, Robert Barry, Joseph Kosuth, and Sol LeWitt. Weiner’s work often took the form of typographic texts, a form of word art. A comprehensive retrospective of Weiner’s nearly 50-year career took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York in 2007–2008
