Georg Herold

Sculptor Georg Herold has developed a strong presence in the United States since his career took off in the early 1970, when he alongside Albert Oehlen and Martin Kippenberger, was part of a group of radical young German artists mentored by Sigmar Polke. This full color catalog highlights many aspects of Herold s work, such as his fetishistic, larger than life figures made of unexpected materials like roof laths, canvas and screws or his abstract portrait made of numbered fish eggs. Herold continues to revel in an ironic, pop tinged sensibility that turns viewer expectations upside down. With texts by Rudi Fuchs, Friedrich Wilhelm Heubach, Nina Schleif and Armin Zweite.
