Sculpture Contemporary Modern — Modern and Contemporary Art
Ottmar Hörl is a contemporary German artist born in Nauheim in 1950. He is known for his conceptual and installation art that often involves repetition, mass production, and humor.
One of Hörl's most well-known works is his "Multiple of 300" series, which features 300 identical objects arranged in a grid. This series has been applied to various subjects, including garden gnomes, plastic toy soldiers, and busts of famous figures such as Beethoven and Martin Luther.
Hörl has also created public sculptures and installations in many cities throughout Germany, including Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and Würzburg. One of his most notable installations is the "Bavarian Forest" in the Munich Residenz, which consists of 1,000 golden deer statues arranged in a forest-like formation.
Hörl has exhibited his works internationally, and he has received numerous awards for his contributions to the arts.
