American artist Robert Barry is crowned as one of the fathers of conceptual art, which represents the culmination of several movements in the elimination of the object in favor of the concept. Growing up in the Bronx, Barry advocates a minimalist art that evokes states of mind that lead the viewer into a temporary abstraction. The artist himself confesses that he does not want his works to be read as part of a studied text, but as parts of a work of art, that is to say, Barry uses language as a way of indicating what art is. In this way, throughout his artistic production, he turns the word into his working material, thus becoming an artist who reflects on the "vision-reading" of the word and the aesthetic experience one has in space.
