Ger van Elk

Ger van Elk (1941-2014) was considered one of the pioneers of conceptual art. Averse to conventions, Van Elk experimented with many different media and frequently collaborated with fellow artists, including William Leavitt, Allen Rupersberg and John Baldessari and Bas Jan Ader among others. Van Elk’s work, across a wide range of mediums, often draws humorous parallels between Amsterdam and Los Angeles, where he moved in 1961.
