"The People You Love" (2013) by Robert Montgomery, Oak, polymer, 12 volt LED lights , 69 x 72 in. (175.3 x 182.9 cm)
NEW YORK---This fall, London-based artist Robert Montgomery is featured in his first solo exhibition in NYC at the C24 Gallery. The exhibition will present the largest collection of his poetic, text-based installation works gathered to date, which are most often found within the public landscape. Montgomery’s exhibition will be on view through October 19, 2013. The work of Robert Montgomery follows a tradition of conceptual text art that includes artists such as Jenny Holzer and Lawrence Weiner. Although linked with his London predecessors of the YBA generation, Montgomery stands out by drawing from examples of public interventionist strategies and brings a poetic voice to the discourse of text art.
