Allen Ruppersberg (born in 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio; lives and works in Santa Monica, California and Brooklyn, New York) is among the generation of American conceptual artists who changed the way art was thought about and made at the end of the 1960s.

His multiform artistic work, which includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, performances and books, amongst other media, is inspired by the Beat Generation and anchored in a critical approach to the media and consumer society.

Over the years, Ruppersberg, an avid collector, has accumulated an impressive quantity of books, posters, postcards, educational films, magazines, records and other documents or objects that bare witness to American popular culture. This archive serves as a regular resource for the artist, who tirelessly draws, copies, classifies and recycles elements in the making of his works.
