Skulpturenpark Köln

For his sculptural installations Hubert Kiecol (b.1950 in Bremen) employs a formal idiom that shows traces of architectural Constructivism and Minimalist concentration. Works made from concrete and iron like Am Anfang (1992) or Tor (1997) are, if removed from their context, not only direct interventions in spatial perception, they become the basis for an "amplitude of meaning" with a metaphysical dimension. Kiecol, whose graphic and sculptural work was last exhibited in 2006 at MuHKA, Antwerp and Häusler Contemporary in Munich, has been professor at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf since 1993. He was awarded the Wolfgang-Hahn Prize in 2000.
