An internationally renowned artist, critic, and writer, Buzz Spector’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia and is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Spector’s work often involves altering books and other printed materials through tearing, collage-making, stacking, and re-binding. “Through this refashioning of existing printed materials, he poses questions about authorship, the history of art, and the written word. His works are at once deeply literate and slyly humorous (Saint Louis Art Museum).”

In addition to his artwork and writing, Spector taught at Cornell University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University. He taught painting, sculpture, and two-dimensional design for a decade and acted as dean for five years.
