Katharina Grosse is a German artist. As an artist, Grosse's work employs a use of architecture, sculpture and painting. She is known for her large-scale, site-related installations to create immersive visual experiences. She has been using an industrial paint-sprayer to apply prismatic swaths of color to a variety of surfaces since the late 1990s, and often uses bright, unmixed sprayed-on acrylic paints to create both large-scale sculptural elements and smaller wall works.
Pipilotti Elisabeth Rist is a Swiss visual artist best known for creating experimental video art and installation art. Her work is often described as surreal, intimate, abstract art, having a preoccupation with the female body. Her artwork is often categorized as feminist art.
Rist's work is known for its multi-sensory qualities, with overlapping projected imagery that is highly saturated with color, paired with sound components that are part of a larger environment with spaces for viewers to rest or lounge. Rist's work often transforms the architecture or environment of a white cube gallery into a more tactile, auditory and visual experience.
Marlene Dumas is a Dutch artist of South African origin. She is known for her figurative paintings that explore themes of identity, race, gender, and sexuality.
Dumas studied at the University of Cape Town and later moved to the Netherlands, where she earned a degree from the Ateliers '63 in Haarlem. Her early work was heavily influenced by the political and social climate in South Africa during the apartheid era.
Dumas' paintings often depict people in various states of vulnerability, intimacy, and emotion. Her works are characterized by loose, gestural brushstrokes, and a limited color palette. She frequently draws inspiration from popular culture, news media, and art history, often appropriating and reimagining images from these sources.
Dumas has exhibited her work extensively, including at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Tate Modern in London. She has also received numerous awards and honors for her work, including the Johannes Vermeer Award in 2012 and the Premium Imperiale in 2018.
Cornelis van Poelenburgh was a Dutch landscape painter and draftsman of the Dutch Golden Age of painting.

Heinz Mack is a German artist. Together with Otto Piene he founded the ZERO movement in 1957. He exhibited works at documenta in 1964 and 1977 and he represented Germany at the 1970 Venice Biennale. He is best known for his contributions to op art, light art and kinetic art.
Udo Nöger is a German and American artist working between San Diego, Miami and Geneva.
Nöger, who grew up in Enger, Germany, emigrated to the United States in the early 1990s. Early in his career, he was known for his expressive figurative paintings. These mixed-media works often feature enigmatic archaic figures and symbolically charged imagery inspired by his travels. On one such trip to the South Pacific, Nöger discovered ancient writings consisting of images of animals, figures and symbols used by the Easter Islanders centuries ago. Over time, he began to incorporate this ancient iconography into his work, eventually creating his own pictorial language that gradually became more and more abstract.
By the mid-nineties, Nöger began to focus exclusively on the interplay of light, space and color. The artist creates luminous monochrome paintings that capture light, movement and energy expressed in extremely minimalist compositions. Nöger uses an almost architectural approach to create works that seem to radiate light from within. The paintings consist of three layers of canvas mounted on stretchers set at a distance from each other.
Udo Nöger has exhibited many times around the world, and his works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Denver), the Art Institute of Chicago and others.
Wilhelm Schreuer was a German painter; associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule.
Most of his works were created with a distinctive technique, involving diluted colors on a damp surface, applied to glued paper; a method that makes major corrections almost impossible. The resulting surface is smooth as glass. Often, the effect is nearly monochromatic. Although he painted a wide variety of subjects, scenes from inns, restaurants, dance halls, and various events were obviously his favorites.
Hermann Grobe was a German maritime painter.
He studied at the Munich and Düsseldorf Art Academies. His favorite subject for Grobe was the sea and everything connected with it. He painted a lot of pictures with ships on the pier and everyday scenes on the shore, sailors on the shore and fishing boats.
Diego Giacometti was a Swiss sculptor and designer, and the younger brother of the sculptor Alberto Giacometti.
Oskar Holweck was a German painter and sculptor on paper.
After World War II, in which he went to the front and into captivity, Holweck studied applied art at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts, worked as a teacher, and was a member of the German Artists Association.
Since the 1960s, Holweck has created artworks almost exclusively with his own paper technique. Through various manipulations with this material, the artist actually created sculptures.
