Dan Colen (b. 1979) is an American multi-media artist. Often moving between diverse styles and subjects, his work consistently investigates ideas of materiality and mark-making. This can be seen in his paintings, which incorporate disused objects, such as chewing gum, flowers and trash, and in his time-based, three-dimensional sculptures and performances.
Represented by Gagosian, he has been exhibited extensively and has work represented in the Saatchi Gallery, London, United Kingdom, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY and the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo, Norway.
In 2017, he, alongside Gagosian, donated 'Attempted Assassination' (2013) to Art of Wishes.
