Rudolf Wachter. Out of tree trunks For several decades, wood has been the only material of Wachter’s art and his main point of reference. He sees the tree trunk as living material, and enters into a dialogue with it to create sculptures which are only possible in cooperation with nature. The natural changes of the wood are incorporated into the final form of his works, a form which he himself defines. His sculptures are reduced to basic elemental shapes. The physical entity interacts with light and shade, with its surroundings and with the observer, thus making form directly accessible. On the occasion of his 80th birthday the Kunsthalle honours the work of this Munich sculptor with a large monographic show. This long overdue exhibition demonstrates the way in which Rudolf Wachter’s subtle work has consistently developed in the last few decades. Around fifty sculptures will be on show, some outside the regular exhibition rooms. Munich: 12. 9.– 9. 11. 2003 ... more Opening hours, admission, location, guided tours, Café, Shop, ... Flyer
