Born in Otterndorf, Niederelbe, Germany, 1932
Lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Klaus Staudt, born 1932 and living in Frankfurt am Main, has been one of Germany's leading constructive-concrete artists for many decades. His participation in exhibitions of the New Tendencies Avant-Garde movement (in Zagreb, Milan, Venice, Paris, etc.) brought him international acclaim in the mid-1960s. At that time, Klaus Staudt began to develop matrixed space shadow reliefs as the hallmark characteristic of his later œuvre. His artistic interest is to overcome the inherent two-dimensionality of paintings by utilising the light and shadow effect of raised features and thus also actively involving the observer.
