Matthew Barney (Artist)

Matthew Barney (b. 1967 San Francisco, is among the most ambitious and provocative artists of our time, known for epic projects such as the “CREMASTER Cycle” (1994–2002). He works in sculpture, photography, drawing, and film. Beginning his artistic career as a student at Yale University, his early works were privately filmed actions that evolved into sculptural installations combining performance and video, a format that remains a key element of his practice to this day.
