Sculptures, Photographs, Works on Paper and other Materials
Stephan Balkenhol (born in 1957) has become one of the most internationally
well-known sculptors of his generation, thanks to his distinctive figurative
wooden sculptures, which established his reputation. This exhibition offers a
glimpse into Balkenhol's studio. For the first time, Balkenhol has decided not
only to show his sculptures and sketches, but also his collection of found
objects. This collection is where he finds a great deal of inspiration for his
work. This will be complemented by early photographs, which will be on view
for the first time in the museum's Gallery for Photographic Arts. He has also
realised new sculptures especially for the exhibition at the Sprengel Museum
Hannover.
This exhibition has been made possible with support from the Stiftung
Niedersächsische Volksbanken and the Raiffeisenbank. Two artist's books will
accompany the exhibition (12 Euro for one, 20 Euro for both).
