Biography
(1941-)
Michael Craig-Martin's work is concerned with the nature of representation and the role of the spectator, explored primarily through everyday objects. Born in Dublin, brought up in the United States, Craig-Martin has been living in Britain since 1966. He studied at the Yale School of Art and is widely acknowledged to have been an influential teacher, particularly at Goldsmiths College, London. He has been exhibiting internationally since the late '60s; and has had recent shows at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Arp Museum, Remagen, Germany; Milton Keynes Gallery, UK; Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin and IVAM, Valencia, Spain. A major retrospective of his work opened at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin in October 2006. Craig-Martin had a solo exhibition at the New Art Centre in May 2006.
