Adam Simon (born 1952) is an American art writer and conceptual painter.
[1] His works often feature stock photography, corporate logos, historical art images.
[4][5] From 1984-1988, Simon and Michele Araujo organized artist gatherings called Four Walls in Hoboken, New Jersey.. From 1991 - 2000, Four Walls was operated in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, primarily by Adam Simon and artist Michael Ballou.
[7] Patricia Milder said: "Simon prefers to look at the network not as some sort of intentional social sculpture but as a natural outgrowth of his work as a painter.
"[13] Tom McGlynn of The Brooklyn Rail wrote that, "Adam Simon engages this erstwhile feature in his ironically titled collage painting, Optimist (1992), by creating manic chains of circled want ads, interlocking as if the sky was the limit for the circlers ambition.
