Summary:
With her unmistakable signature and exuberant imagination, Beate Kuhn (1927-2015) is one of the most significant German ceramicists of the post-war era. As early as the end of the 1950s, she made the transition to the liberal arts. In linking sculptural reasoning with the possibilities of the material and inherent pottery techniques, the internationally renowned artist conquered the frontiers of ceramic and created virtuosic works that went on to form their own contribution to the history of modern sculpture. With around 190 works from nearly 60 years and all periods of creativity, the Freiberger Collection provides an outstanding review of the impressive oeuvre of Beate Kuhn.
