Peter Hutchinson

(British, born 1930)

Peter Hutchinson is a British Conceptual artist whose eclectic oeuvre melds Land Art, diaristic text, science fiction, and photo-collage. Inspired by romantic notions of nature and travel, Hutchinson culls from images of interventions he has performed on the landscape, photos from his garden, and found snapshots, to produce new images of fictional spaces. “Artists make the work they make for a number of reasons and the two prime drives that have propelled Peter Hutchinson throughout his career, in my opinion, have been a desire to make beauty and a (strongly related) passion for curiosity about the world of nature,” the critic Anthony Haden-Guest said of his work. Born in 1930 in London, United Kingdom, Hutchinson attained his BFA in painting from the University of Illinois at Champagne-Urbana in 1960. His early works were based in Minimalist theory, aligning him to his peers Sol Lewitt, Robert Smithson, and Tadaaki Kuwayama. Hutchinson later veered from his Land Art practice to the narrative-based work he is known for today. Notably, the artist Richard Prince has cited Hutchinson as the single most important influence on his own practice. He currently lives and works in Provincetown, MA. The artist’s work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Basel, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
