Klaus Baumgärtner 1948 - 2013
Représenté par:
Galerie Ramakers
Klaus Baumgärtner (1948 - 2013) born in Heidelberg lived and worked in The Hague and France, died 2013 in France
1968 - 1973 Kunstgewerbeschule Basel
The poetic power of Klaus Baumgärtner's installations, objects and photographs is not in the titles (with a few exceptions, his work is untitled) or in the grand gesture. The strength of Baumgärtner's timeless oeuvre lies in the particularization of fragments from both nature and utilitarian objects into subtle installations. He cherished the small, intimate details of branches, pieces of wood or metal. He painstakingly and lovingly kneaded different fragments together into a poetic whole.
Fans of his work recognize his finely crafted sculptures and collages from a hundred yards away. For years he made installations from natural objects. The components could be twigs, threads, but also found objects such as pieces of wood and metal. He cherished every material he got his hands on. He bent it, assembled, welded and cut, sanded and sawed. Matter took on additional meaning with Baumgärtner, beyond the original or accidental. On the face of it, simple forms can indeed evoke complex emotions.
