About this person

Agnes Denes is a Hungarian-born American conceptual artist based in New York City. She is known for works in a wide range of media - from poetry and philosophical writings to extremely detailed drawings, sculptures, and iconic land art works, such as Wheatfield - A Confrontation (1982), a two-acre field of wheat in downtown Manhattan, commissioned by the Public Art Fund, and Tree Mountain - A Living Time Capsule (1992-96) in Ylöjärvi, Finland. Her work Rice/Tree/Burial with Time Capsule (1968-79) is recognized as one of the earliest examples of ecological art.
