Tony Conrad is a pioneering visual artist, filmmaker, violinist, composer, and sound artist. In the 1960s, he was a leading figure in the development of minimalist music and was an early member of the Theater of Eternal Music, along with John Cale, La Monte Young, and others. As a visual artist, Conrad's acclaimed multidisciplinary work has been featured in the 2006 Whitney Biennial, the 2009 Venice Biennale, and in solo exhibitions around the world. He is represented by Greene Naftali gallery in New York and Galerie Daniel Buchholz in Germany. Conrad’s early career is the subject of a study by Branden Joseph, Beyond the Dream Syndicate: Tony Conrad and the Arts after Cage (Zone, 2008).
