Huebler was noted for his 1970 exhibition of 12 photographs taken every two minutes whilst driving his car along a road for 24 minutes. Douglas Huebler was a conceptual artist who based his work in photography beginning in the late 1960s. From a personal history of abstract expressionist painting and minimalist sculpture, he developed unique installations of photographs with texts as objects, conceived from narratives, which he engineered from life. Implicit in his work are the abandonment of modern photography and its history of classification. Huebler replaced the artistic photograph with documents of process and strategies.
The reason I choose to research this artist is because he is considered to be conceptual like many of the artists we have been studying so far in this class. However, he does things a little differently. Making conceptual art out of photographs it completely different. I don't understand some of the reasoning behind some of his works but I do however find it to be visually appealing.
