Biography:Ben Vautier (1935 -)Vautier was born in 1935 in Naples and moved to Nice in 1949 after having lived in various places in Italy, Turkey, Egypt and Switzerland. In 1954 the artist known as Ben opened up a store for used records which in 1959 transformed into a meeting place for people who are eager to exhibit and to explore avant garde art. In this period he writes the first manuscript for the later magazine "Ben Dieu." In 1962, Vautier begins his association with George Maciunas and becomes known as a leading figure of the Fluxus group. His artistic work is based on manifold and humorous equations of art and life.
