Klaus Staudt: A Sense of Serenity

PV: 2 April, 6 – 8pm

The Mayor Gallery invites you to our forthcoming solo exhibition of 

Klaus Staudt (b. 1932 Otterndorf am Main, Germany); one of the leading exponents of constructive and concrete art in Germany. After studying medicine for five years, Staudt joined the Academy of Fine Arts in 1959 in the studios of Ernst Geitlinger and Georg Meistermann. Together with Gerhard von Graevenitz and Jürgen Morschel, he founded the gallery nota in Munich in 1960 and became a member of the nouvelle tendance.

His oeuvre is based upon simple geometric forms encased in transparent Plexiglas which give the illusion of movement as the viewer’s eye travels, with the interplay between colour, light and shadow influencing perception.Our exhibition will show of works ranging from the early 60s to the present day.
