Johannes von Stumm is a contemporary German-born sculptor who currently lives and works in the UK. He was born in 1959 in Lindau, Germany and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy, and the Royal College of Art in London.
Von Stumm's work often explores the relationship between sculpture and the surrounding environment, and he is particularly interested in using natural materials like stone and wood to create his pieces. He has exhibited his work extensively both in the UK and internationally, and has received a number of awards and commissions for his sculpture.
Some of von Stumm's notable public sculptures include "Confluence" (2000) in the UK, "The Dove of Peace" (2008) in Switzerland, and "Fire and Water" (2010) in the US. He has also created several large-scale sculptures for private collections and exhibitions.
In addition to his sculpture work, von Stumm is also a writer and has published several books on sculpture, including "Sculpture in Landscape" and "Sculpture Inside and Out".
