Born in Dublin in 1941, he spent many years of his childhood in Washington, D.C.. At Yale University, he was influenced by the color and form theories of Josef Albers, who was no longer teaching there at the time, but whose influence still lingered as the former head of the Art Department. Craig-Martin has lived and worked in London since 1966. As a teacher at Goldsmiths College in London, he influenced several generations of students, including Damian Hirst, Sarah Lucas, and Tracey Emin, as well as the artists Julian Opie and Steve Johnson.
His works can be found in numerous international private and public collections, including the collection of the Centre George Pompidou, Paris, the MoMA in NewYork and the Tate Gallery in London.
