Spencer Tunick (b 1967) is an American artist best known for his installations featuring large numbers of nude people posed in artistic formations: "A body is a living entity. It represents life, freedom, sensuality, and it is a mechanism to carry out our thoughts. A body is always beautiful to me. It depends on the individual work and what I do with it and what kind of idea lies behind it — if age matters or not. But in my group works, the only difference is how far people can go if it rains, snows etc.” Fascinating and, of course, provocative.
