Billy Apple® turns 50 today


On Thursday 22 November 1962, Billy Apple came into being. It is exactly 50 years since that art historic moment.

In London in 1962, I began an extended work, which was part of an effort to break down the separation between "art activity" and "life activity". I decided to use my own identity as the vehicle with which to explore the concept of the artist as "art object". Billy Apple 1974
