Wolfram Beck (1930 - 2004)

Wolfram Beck

Wolfram Beck was a German sculptor, draughtsman, and painter who worked with wood, steel, bronze, acrylic, and stone. He was trained at the Higher School of Artistic Culture in Berlin, and his work initially included large organic wooden works, portrait busts, and torsos in clay and stone. In the 1970s, Beck created strictly geometric and airy-filigree constructions from mechanical and electronic components that could be moved by actuators or by hand. He also created colorfully accented and fragile looking objects in metal and acrylic. Beck's work can be found in the collections of Axel Springer, Egon Eiermann, and others.
