About Guido Häfner
Guido Häfner was born in Upper Franconia, Germany, in 1968 and studied at the Technical University of Munich, among other institutions. Since 1995 he has been working as a freelance sculptor and graphic artist and has collaborated on numerous projects with his brother Johannes under the name Häfner + Häfner. At art Karlsruhe 2010, their joint sculptural and printmaking special show attracted interest and was purchased by numerous collectors.
Guido Häfner's masterly handling of steel combines surreal and abstract elements. He creates figures whose cultural context he deliberately leaves open.
His works can be found in numerous collections, including the art collection of the German Bundestag, the Berlin Foundation of Prussian Cultural Heritage, the Goethe Institute in Taiwan, Abu Dhabi and Sweden and the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz. His sculptures can also be found in numerous public places.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
