Biography:
Born in Greece, Lucas Samaras immigrated to the United States in 1948 and became a citizen in 1955. He was a sculptor and experimental artist who created a very diverse portfolio. He was a part of Kaprow’s first happening in 1959. Around this time, he was creating figures out of plaster and rags. Then, in the 1960’s, Samaras began using nails and pins to construct his sculptures. He also made several studies in light and reflection. Samaras’s most famous works were a part of his 1970 series of Autopolaroids. These were photographs of his own anatomy and helped to solidify his reputation.
