A Brief History of John Baldessari

This short video presents the life and career of the unique (and hilarious) conceptual artist John Baldessari, narrated by the incomparable Tom Waits. It's a great video clip to show students embarking on IB art, to dismantle ideas on what art is or should be and throw them headlong into the full catastrophe freedom of being an artist. Enjoy! This clip was commissioned by the LA county museum of art
