Born in Ireland, O'Doherty started his working life as a medical doctor. Following his emigration to the USA in 1957, he devoted himself to the visual arts and first established himself as an influential writer and critic (he is best known for his seminal essays, *Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space*, 1976). Pioneering conceptual art from the 1960s defined his transition from writer to artist. As Brian O'Doherty and Patrick Ireland, he has produced a rich body of work which includes drawings, sculptures, installations, paintings and a category called gestures. Constantly challenging, O'Doherty/Ireland's work has pushed the boundaries of conceptualism and today he stands as an important figure in the history of contemporary art."},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"[Brian O'Doherty](http://galeriethomasfischer.de/exhibitions/brian-odoherty-ndash-from-electrocardiogram-to-rope-drawing) deed afstand van zijn naam en koos voor Patrick Ireland, als reactie op de schietpartij van Bloody Sunday in Noord-Ierland (1972). O’Doherty startte zijn carrière als arts, maar verliet geboorteland Ierland in 1957 om zich in de Verenigde Staten te wijden aan de beeldende kunsten. Hij maakte vooral naam als invloedrijk schrijver en essayist (O’Doherty verwierf vooral bekendheid door het baanbrekende essay *Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space*, 1976). Als één van de pioniers van conceptuele kunst evolueerde hij in de jaren 60 van schrijver naar kunstenaar. Onder de namen Brian O’Doherty en Patrick Ireland produceerde hij een omvangrijk oeuvre van tekeningen, beeldhouwwerken, installaties, schilderijen en zogenoemde “gebaren”. Doordat O’Doherty/Ireland altijd de uitdaging opzocht, tast zijn werk de grenzen van het conceptualisme af en maakt het van hem vandaag een belangrijke figuur in de geschiedenis van de hedendaagse kunst."},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"United States","place":"","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}}]}
