Allan Kaprow (August 23, 1927 – April 5, 2006) was an American painter, assemblagist and a traveler in establishing the concepts of fake art. He helped to fabricate the “Environment” and “Happening” in the late 1950s and 1960s, as with ease as their theory. His Happenings — some 200 of them — evolved higher than the years. Eventually Kaprow shifted his practice into what he called “Activities”, intimately scaled pieces for one or several players, devoted to the testing of usual human to-do in a pretension congruent to undistinguished life. Fluxus, performance art, and installation art were, in turn, influenced by his work.
