Biography
Daniel Wiener, who recently received a Guggenheim Fellowship, grew up in Los Angeles County but has lived in or around NYC for close to thirty years. A professional artist since 1977, Daniel’s first show was at the Stephen Wirtz gallery in San Francisco, held shortly after his graduation from University of California at Berkeley. In 1982 Daniel was awarded a fellowship for an unusually long stay at Yaddo, which inspired his exodus to the East Coast. Daniel’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in both group and one-person shows, notably at Bravin/Post Lee Gallery in New York and Acme Gallery in LA. Though he is known primarily for his intense and viscerally arresting sculptures, Daniel also works on watercolors, 3-D animations, and website design. Daniel is presently affiliated with Lesley Heller on the Lower East Side of New York City. He lives and works in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.
