Julio Le Parc was born in 1928 in Mendoza, Argentina; he lives and works in Cachan near Paris. In 1958, he came to Paris on a scholarship as an art student and co-founded the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel (GRAV) (1960-68). Before that, he studied with Lucio Fontana at the Academia de Altamira in Buenos Aires, among others. Since the 1960s he has been exhibited worldwide; in 1966 he won the Grand International Prize for Painting at the 33rd Venice Biennale. The Kunsthalle Düsseldorf showed his work in a solo exhibition in 1972. In recent years, his work has received special recognition through major solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Met Breuer in New York and the Serpentine Gallery in London.
