‘Coming’ works with a toolbox of iconic modern artworks and objects, including Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Fountain’ and Carl André’s ‘Equivalent VIII’, represented in Craig-Martin’s signature style. A constantly evolving homage to artists that Craig-Martin felt revolutionised modern art.

‘Radical art – and I’ve always thought of myself as radical – is always at the frontiers, always speculative, always too radical to be really understood initially. It changes your frame of reference. That’s what Duchamp did.’ Michael Craig-Martin

About the Artist

Michael Craig-Martin, b.1941

Born in Dublin, Michael Craig-Martin studied art at Yale University in the 1960s, where he was influenced by theories of conceptual art. In the 1980s Craig-Martin taught at Goldsmith’s College and was major influence on the emerging YBA generation. Craig-Martin's early art practice involved the use of ready-mades. From the 1990s the focus of his work moved to painting, and to increasingly complex site-specific wall paintings. ‘Michael Craig-Martin: Works 1964-2006’ took place in IMMA in 2006.
