The Artistic Practice of Rob Pruitt
Born in Washington, D.C., United States, Rob Pruitt is an American post-conceptual artist whose work spans painting, installation, and sculpture. His practice is characterized by a lack of a single style or medium, as he often considers his output to be intensely personal and biographical. Throughout his career, Pruitt has exhibited extensively in New York and internationally, including a mid-career retrospective held at the Aspen Art Museum in 2013.
His early career involved collaborations, most notably with Jack Early. Following a period of exhibiting in group shows and solo works that addressed his exclusion from the art world, Pruitt explored various conceptual directions. This included the 1998 installation of a 16-foot mirror with a line of real cocaine, a piece titled Cocaine Buffet, and the 1999 exhibition 101 Art Ideas You Can Do Yourself, which utilized humor and instructions to engage with language-based conceptual art.
