Bernar Venet is a French sculptor who was born in 1941 at Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban. He has resided in the US since 1966, where he has gained a reputation for his steel sculptures and drawings. In the 1960s, he presented a series of paintings covered with tar. His fame was established during the same period with the realisation of a sculpture without specific form consisting of a pile of coal poured on the ground. His use and interpretation of intellectual abstraction and his interest in mathematical formulas and experimentation, led him to conceptual art.
