1952 Füssen
2013 Freiburg
Born in Füssen in 1952, the German painter, sculptor and photographer Günther Förg studied at the "Akademie der Bildenden Künste" in Munich under Karl Fred Dahmen from 1973 to 1979. In 1980 he had his first solo exhibition at the Munich gallery "Rüdiger Schöttle".
Further exhibitions followed: In 1984 for example Günther Förg contributed to the Düsseldorf exhibition "von hier aus". In 1992 his works could be seen at the "documenta IX" and in 1995 an exhibition at the "Stedelijk Museum" in Amsterdam followed.
In 1993 the artist received a teaching post at the ZKM Karsruhe, until he returned to Munich, where he worked as a professor at the academy from 1998.
Günther Förg combines painting and sculpture across all materials and media in complex installations. Thus, the artist linked the aesthetics of architectural Bauhaus photographs or depictions of deserted fascist building complexes to portrait photos or framed mirrors. In other arrangements the artist permits reflections on art by confronting monochrome murals with lead pictures in a tense way.
Günter Förg died in Freiburg on December 5, 2013.
