Rainer Küchenmeister Art

German, 1926-2010

Incarcerated for three years at Moringen Concentration Camp in 1942, aged 16, for his activity in the resistance movement, Rainer Küchenmeister survived thanks to the encouragement and support of a fellow inmate, whose face he never saw. Küchenmeister's subject matter tragic figures, faceless gladiators which are strong yet frail seems to have evolved from his personal experience. The artist shot to fame in 1962 at the "Documenta III Kassel" exhibition. He was subsequently named Professor at the Academy of Arts in Karlsruhe and a member of the Berlin Academy but decided to settle in France. Küchenmeister was tutor and master to Anselm Kiefer and championed his work. Küchenmeister exhibited at the Carnegie International, Venice Biennale and São Paulo Art Biennale.
