The Artistic Practice of Rob Pruitt
Born in Washington, D.C., United States, Rob Pruitt is an American post-conceptual artist whose work spans painting, installation, and sculpture. His practice is characterized by a lack of a single style or medium, as he often considers his output to be intensely personal and biographical.

This included the 1998 installation of a 16-foot mirror with a line of real cocaine, a piece titled Cocaine Buffet, and the 1999 exhibition 101 Art Ideas You Can Do Yourself, which utilized humor and instructions to engage with language-based conceptual art.
