Friedrich Gräsel was a German sculptor, painter and graphic artist. He was known for his kinetic sculptures, which often incorporated light, sound, and movement.
Gräsel studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and later taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. He began creating kinetic sculptures in the 1960s, using a wide range of materials such as metal, wood, and plastic to create dynamic, interactive works of art.
Gräsel's sculptures often feature intricate mechanisms and complex systems of movement, inviting viewers to engage with the work on a sensory level. His work frequently incorporates elements of humor and whimsy, while also exploring deeper themes related to technology, nature, and the human condition.
Gräsel exhibited his work extensively throughout Europe, including at the Venice Biennale, Documenta in Kassel, and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. He was also awarded numerous honors and awards for his work, including the Bavarian Order of Merit in 1987 and the Art Prize of the City of Nuremberg in 1997.
Karl Otto Götz was a German artist, filmmaker, draughtsman, printmaker, writer and professor of art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He was one of the oldest living and active artists older than 100 years of age and is best remembered for his explosive and complex abstract forms. His powerful, surrealist-inspired works earned him international recognition in exhibitions like documenta II in 1959. Götz never confined himself to one specific style or artistic field. He also explored generated abstract forms through television art. Götz is one of the most important members of the German Art Informel movement.

He painted expressive abstract pictures with a tectonic structure, and since the mid-1950s, relief paintings and collages on the damage to the local landscape caused by open-pit mining. Later in Dahmen's oeuvre, glazed object boxes appear, recounting the impressions of his daily working life.
