Franz Erhard Walther - Shifting Perspectives

Franz Erhard Walther was a key figure in the conceptual departure from the image in the postwar European avant-garde, and a pioneer of an open concept of the work. Through the inclusion of the audience as an actor as well as the use of elements like place, time, space, body, and language, Walther brought about a radical expansion and combination of artistic means. The visionary significance of his artistic praxis is only becoming clear to the general public as demonstrated by the awarding of the Golden Lion to him at the Venice Biennale in 2017.
