Born in 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Ruppersberg initially trained in the 1960s and emerged as a marginal figure in conceptual art. His approach draws on literary resources, popular culture and autobiographical references. One of the foundations of his work lies in the transposition and recycling of his own works, or fragments thereof. Driven by the idea of multiplicity, his works are hybrid and transdisciplinary, building, in the artist's own words, a "more democratic kind of art object".
