Bruce Nauman was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1941. After studying at the University of Wisconsin from 1964 to 1965, he acquired an M.F.A. from the University of California, Davis, in 1966. His debut show was at the Nicholas Wilder Gallery, Los Angeles, in 1966, and since then he has exhibited widely in North America and Europe, including contributions to Documenta 4 (1968), 5 (1972), and 7 (1982), in Kassel, Germany, and to the Whitney Biennials of 1984, 1991, and 1997. Several major exhibitions of his work toured, principally in Europe, in the 1980s, and in 1994- 95 the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., organized a retrospective. He won the Golden Lion prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999. Nauman has lived on a ranch near Galisteo, New Mexico, since 1979, where, in addition to his studio practice, he breeds horses.
