Artist figure bronze "Small laced head I, signed Rainer Kriester 1978 II/IV
Limited masterpiece number 2 of 6
After completing his medical studies, Kriester emigrated from the former GDR in 1958. He began studying painting and sculpture at the Berlin Art Academy in 1961.
Since 1970, Kriester worked more as a sculptor. He had his first major exhibition that same year. A large portion of his work at that time dealt with abstracted heads, primarily formed by spikes and nails, which he also referred to as steles or head signs.
From 1982 onward, Kriester lived and worked in Albenga, a town in Liguria, alternating with Berlin. For the sculptures he created there, he used the porous, dull-white to slightly pinkish limestone that had grown on site. A sculpture made from this material, "Large White Head Sign" (1984–87), is on display in the Chancellery in Berlin. The artist adhered to the found form of the stone. Stone block and worked only its surface.
Kriester was buried in Vendone, Italy. In Vendone (Due Torri), between Alassio and Albenga, north of Capo Lena, a sculpture park with approximately 35 of his works was designed.
Rainer Kriester was a member of the German Artists' Association.
