Olaf Metzel at Ein Harod

About this book

Olaf Metzel (born 1952 in Berlin, lives and works in Munich) is one of Germany's most important contemporary sculptors. An essential element of his art is to provoke the viewer to think. Metzel's diverse oeuvre includes large-scale sculptures in public space, small-scale sculptural think pieces, vigorous drawings, reliefs of bent tin with digital prints, and installative interventions. The new quality Metzel's work introduces could be termed "performative sculpture." The works not only establish a connection to the physical and architectural surroundings, but also to the social and urban space.00Exhibition: Mishkan Museum of Art, Ein Harod, Israel (24.03.-14.07.2018).
