Biography
Ottmar Hörl
Ottmar Hörl (b. 1950) is a German conceptual artist, known for his sculptures, installations, actions, photography, and objects. He achieved worldwide popularity due to his radical, avantgarde art concepts as well as large-scale projects featuring serial sculptures in public spaces, based on his distinctive definition of sculpture as an organisational principle. He is considered an "offensive and direct strategist campaigning for a new type of public art“ and the most successful artist creating multiples, implementing his vision of art for everyone and promoting the democratisation of sculpture like no other so far.
"As an artist, I have to develop an idea that goes beyond just setting a little mould down somewhere. The idea must attempt to put contemporary thinking into a nutshell and people can start building their own personal structure from there."
