About the Artist

Georg Herold is a prominent German artist whose eclectic and often irreverent practice challenges established artistic conventions. Associated with the "Neue Wilde" movement, Herold is known for his unconventional use of materials, frequently incorporating everyday items such as bricks, roofing tiles, and mattresses into his sculptures and installations. His work is characterized by its raw aesthetic, playful subversion, and a keen, often cynical, wit that critiques societal structures, political ideologies, and the art world itself. Herold's multidisciplinary approach creates an interplay between banality and profundity, inviting viewers to question assumptions about value, meaning, and artistic authorship through his provocative material interventions.
