Collection: Allan McCollum

Allan McCollum (born 1944) is an American artist whose serial objects and installations examine the relationship between individual identity, cultural value and mass production. His Surrogate Paintings and subsequent projects use repetition and variation to question the conventions through which objects become artworks, while collaborations with regional communities extend these concerns beyond the museum. He participated in the Whitney Biennial in 1975, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, presented the museum retrospective Works since 1969.
