The artist Heinrich Knopf (*1949) lives in Munich and at Lake Garda. Even in his youth he focused in the transformation of iron, one of the oldest materials used in art. His sculptures radiate lightness and movement and invite the viewer to a playful relationship with ever-changing angles. Heinrich Knopf gives the heaviness we initially associate with iron as a material an almost flowing dynamism. The forms of his works are abstracted and derived from the constant movement of water, which remains a source of fascination for him. Filigree and flooded with light –apparently hovering – his works evoke perspectives which perplex. In large-format illustrations and detail shots the publication provides an overview of his creative work and allows the viewer to study the works and their forms at leisure.
From his earliest artistic endeavors in youth to the present, Heinrich Knopf has focused on the transformation of iron, one of the oldest materials used in art. Yet even though his works are made with iron, they defy our sense of the metals heaviness and density: His sculptures radiate lightness and movement, inviting the viewer to a playful relationship with ever-changing angles. The heaviness of iron is replaced by an almost flowing dynamism, which suits his works, many of which are abstracted and derived from the constant movement of water. Filigreed and flooded with lighteven seeming to hoverhis works evoke perspectives that perplex.
Today Knopf lives and works in Munich, Germany, and on Lake Garda in Italy, where he has established himself as one of the most creative artists working with iron today. This volume presents full-color, large-format reproductions of a number of Knopfs works, giving an overview of his oeuvre and allowing for study of the works both in total and in their captivating details.
