Philadelphia–born American artist William Anastasi is revered as a pioneer of both Conceptual and Minimal Art. Among his best-known works are Sink (1963), Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony (1965), and Six Sites (1966–1967), all of which anticipated and inspired trends in modern art. Solo exhibitions of his work have been organized by P.S.1, New York (1977), Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf (1979), the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1979 and 1981), and the Nikolaj—Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center (2001).
