Sarah Morris

Sarah Morris (born in the UK in 1967) lives and works in New York. Having studied philosophy and semiotics at Brown University and Cambridge University between 1985 and 1989, Morris participated in the Independent Study Program of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. She was strongly influenced by artistic movements like pop art, minimalism and conceptualism. Morris worked as an assistant for a while to the American artist Jeff Koons.
