John Latham was a British artist and theorist whose practice encompassed painting, sculpture, film, and performance, often incorporating books and text as primary materials. His work challenged conventional art-making through a conceptual approach that predated and influenced institutional critique and conceptual art movements of the 1960s and beyond. Operating across multiple disciplines and scales, Latham developed a distinctive methodology that treated art-making as a philosophical investigation rather than a craft-based discipline.
