Renowned as a global pioneer of conceptual art, Lothar Baumgarten spent over four decades creating thought-provoking works anchored within ethnography and anthropology. Through diverse media and installations, he challenged fundamental concepts of representation. Baumgarten's practice is considered a milestone in the artistic realm of 'institutional critique' and postcolonial discourse.
