Bruce Nauman was born in 1941. He is considered one of the most innovative contemporary artists in America. He finds inspiration for his work in the activities, speech and materials of everyday life. Nauman works with numerous diverse mediums such as sculpture, video, film, printmaking, performance, neon and installation. He focuses on the way a process can transform or become a work of art.
One of Nauman’s works is the “One Hundred Fish Fountain.” The “One Hundred Fish Fountain is made up of ninety-seven bronze fish which spurt water through punctured holes. The water drops to a large basin below and is pumped back through tubes. This piece of artwork is very noisy. The water fills the fish noisily and it sprays out loudly until the pumps are turned off. Then the remaining water drips out. This sculpture is displayed at the Donald Young Gallery in Chicago.
