2013 // Johannes Wald // “Untitled“ and „pedestal for a muse“

Johannes Wald has developed an art concept that is in dialogue with the classics as well as with his contemporaries and the viewer. The result is a style that formulates secrets and develops a widespread appeal by keeping opportunities open.

...Wald is a sculptor who turns toward opposition in order to create something physical that seeks to evade content representation."
