Dennis Oppenheim (September 6, 1938 – January 21, 2011) was an American conceptual artist, performance artist, earth artist, sculptor and photographer.

Oppenheim's early artistic practice was an epistemological survey of art that responded to the strategies of the Minimalists that expanded to focus on site and context. His work progressed from perceptions of the physical properties of the gallery to the social and political context.
