Almuth Tebbenhoff
Almuth Tebbenhoff (born 1949) is a German-British artist who lives and works in London, UK. She began making art in the 1970s and since then has produced a body of work that encompasses functional and semi-functional ceramics, sculptures and works on paper. She is primarily known for her sculptures in clay, steel and marble, which range in size from small, intimate ‘pocket’ sculptures to large-scale public ones. What comes across in the five decades of Almuth’s work is her relish for experimenting with different materials, ideas, forms, scales and styles, in work that draws inspiration from, and fuses elements of, surrealism, psychedelia, minimalism and organic abstraction with an insatiable curiosity about the world around her.
Written by art historian Amy Dempsey with an introduction by poet and novelist Sue Hubbard, the richly illustrated 192-page book features chapters about artworks in each of the main materials that Almuth uses – clay, steel, bronze, marble and paper – followed by a biography including key events, projects and exhibitions.
