As a painter, he has been represented by the Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York.
Plagens lived and worked in California after graduating from the University of Southern California. In 1974, Plagens wrote Sunshine Muse: Contemporary Art on the West Coast. For most of the 1970s, Plagens and artist Bruce Nauman had studios on the same block in Pasadena and they played in a weekly Santa Monica artists' basketball game.[1] Plagens also performed in Nauman's 1975 film Pursuit, which features more than 24 minutes of footage of men and women running on a treadmill against a black background, panting desperately into the void while staying in place.[1]
Plagens has lived in New York for many years. He writes about art for the Wall Street Journal and for ArtForum magazine.
