style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wolfram Beck was the firstborn child of a merchant and a master embroiderer. In 1944, at the age of 14, he was drafted from his humanities-focused high school into the anti-aircraft artillery service, where he was seriously wounded by a grenade. He spent a long time in a military hospital, an experience that never left him. His father was killed on the Eastern Front in 1945.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\">After completing a woodturning apprenticeship in Greiz, he continued his training as a wood sculptor at the Empfertshausen Carving School in the Rh\u00f6n Mountains under Bauhaus student Wilhelm L\u00f6ber for the next two years. Life in the GDR was unimaginable for him. After receiving his certificate, he walked across the green border to the West. He then financed the rest of his schooling with hard manual labor at the Fritz-Heinrich coal mine in Essen and in the port of Hamburg, eventually graduating with a \u201clate high school diploma.\u201d His first opportunity to earn a living as a sculptor came in 1951, when he designed exhibits for the \u201cGreat Health Exhibition Cologne,\u201d including representations of the human vascular system. Until 1955, he worked as a sculptor's assistant for Professor Willy Meller in Cologne.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\">From 1955 to 1960, Beck studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin under Professor Paul Dierkes. During this time, he created numerous wooden sculptures, whose motifs he later varied using other materials. He completed his studies with the title of master student.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f890d3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f890d3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In keeping with the tradition of wood carving, he designed tombstones during this period. This involved determining the shape and proportions of the wooden stele, memorial stone, or monument. Suggesting a memorial inscription or Bible quote and selecting and setting the font were also traditionally part of the scope of work.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\">After completing his studies, Wolfram Beck received commissions for portrait busts for private clients, as well as invitations to participate in tenders and commissions from the Kunst am Bau program. In 1965, he was commissioned to create the first Golden Camera television award for Axel Springer Verlag. The award was presented for the first time in 1966.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1965, he married B\u00e4rbel Wendt, an actress who came from a family of entrepreneurs. Financial support from his father-in-law allowed Beck to devote himself to his art in the decades that followed without having to worry about making ends meet. The couple had two children.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the early 1970s, he lived and worked in the L\u00fcneburg Heath. From the early 1980s onwards, the family lived in Berlin and in Tourrettes-sur-Loup in southern France. Like many artists before him, Beck was searching for the perfect light of Provence for artists.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His son Arnold Beck died in a traffic accident in 1981 at the age of 13. The traumatic experience plunged his father into an existential crisis. This loss tragically compounded the trauma he had already suffered from the loss of his own physical integrity and the loss of his father. In his artistic work, this resulted in a long-lasting exploration of the theme of the transition from life to death, initially in a figurative manner, then in complete abstraction. Beck can be classified as a representative of concrete art from 1960 onwards. The sculptures made of steel, Plexiglas, bronze, and stone were preceded by precise designs that stand on their own in terms of artistic merit and quality.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"translation-block\">In 1982, Beck collaborated experimentally with conductor Hugo K\u00e4ch and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra during the Stravinsky Days in an attempt to \u201cvisualize music and set sculptures to music.\u201d<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e3cf17 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4e3cf17\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41daf73 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"41daf73\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2d04ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2d04ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the last two decades of his life, Beck increasingly withdrew from his surroundings in order to devote himself entirely to art in Louis Tuaillon's former studio house in Berlin-Grunewald. All of his sculptures were preceded by countless precise sketches and variations on motifs. Steel, Plexiglas, bronze, and stone became the dominant materials in his work. Early works, which had been created in plaster and wood, were translated accordingly.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wolfram Beck died on January 10, 2004, at the age of 73 in Berlin. He was buried in the Wendt family grave in Cemetery IV of the Jerusalem and New Church on Bergmannstra\u00dfe in Berlin-Kreuzberg. A metal plaque commemorates him there.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the beginning of his career, Beck created large organic wood sculptures, portrait busts, and torsos made of concrete and bronze, followed by constructive wood and stainless steel works. Later, he worked with acrylic glass, Styrodur, and finally natural stone. His works are characterized by extremely precise forms.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His colorful, large-scale paintings also feature precise forms and are reminiscent of architecture and two-dimensional sculptural works.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beck did not give his works titles and in later years no longer signed his drawings; he never signed his paintings.

Wolfram Beck hat sich buchst\u00e4blich abgearbeitet an seiner Kunst, hat Wege gesucht, Materialien in Form zu bringen und in Formen.\u00a0 In fast jeder Skizze, jedem Bild, jeder Plastik erkennen wir den peniblen Handwerker, den Sculpteur im besten Sinne.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is no wonder that many of Beck's contemporaries always associated his work with architecture: correct perspective, clear forms, multi-sided views, spatiality, and effect in space.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">But there is something else that can be experienced throughout his entire oeuvre: his affinity for craftsmanship, his perfectionism in execution, and his aversion to simple interpretations.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His works initially include large organic wood carvings, portrait busts, and torsos made of clay and stone. The spatial aspect is very present here, but still soft. As an organic motif, he varies bird wings or wings to an abstract, tension-filled form or as an abstract pair of wings, to which he also refers in his late work with the outstretched arms of Jesus on the cross.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his middle creative period (around the end of the 1960s), Beck returned thematically to his artistic beginnings. (In 1951, the large health exhibition in Cologne offered him the opportunity to design several exhibits, in particular the complete representation of all human vessels). During these years, he varied his motifs at the time, drawing on zoological lithographs by Ernst H\u00e4ckel, for example.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps this episode also crystallized another main theme in Beck's creative work\u2014he wanted to understand connections\u2014and make them understandable. Many works from this period also deal with mechanics and electronics. Components are connected in a seemingly playful manner and can be moved by the viewer using drives or by hand. The fascination of the exact sciences for the seeker and researcher, who finds himself caught between two worlds. Accuracy was at least as important to him as the effect of his works.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, in this episode he creates clear and fragile-looking sculptures made of metal and acrylic, accentuated with color. He moves away from warm, earthy wood and organic materials and translates the lightness of wings into materials that appear weightless. Acrylic glass and highly polished metal surfaces create transparency. Technical components are used to enable physics to create a sense of detachment\u2014is it a form of redemption? At the same time, the proportions always demand stability. The base is always taken into consideration.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5759238 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5759238\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d84c90 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5d84c90\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d27c29b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d27c29b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stiftung-wolframbeck.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/WB-Werk1-rejzzrs1t968wptzicnmq0v1ix4za9v1o3il1y34i6.png\" title=\"WB Werk1\" alt=\"WB Werk1\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16a39f3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"16a39f3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77c8a36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77c8a36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main feature of all his works (not only those from this creative period) is the extremely precise and careful processing and treatment of a wide variety of materials. Each motif can be found in sketches, paintings, plastic models, and also in the sculptures. One gains the impression of a seemingly endless variety of forms and motifs, which only reveal their references and contextual connections at third and fourth glance.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His paintings are becoming increasingly larger and more expansive. He creates a large number of designs in three dimensions. He pays particular attention to precise forms. His colorful, large-scale paintings in particular demonstrate this precision and are reminiscent of architecture and two-dimensional sculptural works.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Far more than the visual arts of antiquity and modernity, he finds his artistic counterpart in architecture. Looking at many of Beck's paintings, one discovers a spatial depth that makes the painting appear like a replica of a sculpture or the design for a sculpture, less as a preliminary stage and more as a two-dimensional twin. Thus, the pictorial spatiality often evokes architectural associations. It is the language of the architects of Castel del Monte and Abbaye du Thoronet, the language of Barlach and Le Corbusier, that inspires him and that he wants to speak, not knowing whether he is capable of doing so.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1611965 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1611965\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">After the death of his son in 1981, to everyone's surprise, there was no break in the artist's productivity. But we can perceive a change in his motifs. The theme of Jesus on the cross and \u201cwings,\u201d which had always resonated as his echo of art history, took on a very important role in his artistic work from this time onwards. As a Bible-savvy agnostic and a skeptic trained in mythology, Beck attempted to translate the central promise of religions into images\u2014salvation through death, the transition to a hopefully better world.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beck varies this theme in many ways in his later work. The \u201cgate\u201d to the other world becomes nothing short of an obsession for him. Perhaps because he hoped that his art would enable him to see behind the scenes of death, or perhaps because he realized that worldly understanding ends at this very gate.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But through this late work, through the various perspectives on death and transition, Beck has passed on to us his view of life. That despite all obstacles, everyone must pass through this gate. And that despite his misanthropy and depression, he loved life and could not accept the death of others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b11e26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b11e26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ON THE OPENING OF THE RETROSPECTIVE IN 1997, by Astrid Kuhlmey, Deutschlandradio Kultur<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Der Augenblick, in dem ein K\u00fcnstler seine Arbeit \u00f6ffentlich macht mit der er lange, manchmal qu\u00e4lend, oft auch leidenschaftlich und freudvoll alleine zugebracht hat, deren Entstehen er zweifelnd oder spannungsvoll verfolgt hat, dieser Augenblick hat ein hohes Ma\u00df an Preisgabe der eigenen Biografie, so da\u00df ich jede Beklemmung gut nachvollziehen kann. \u2013 Zumal Wolfram Beck jemand ist, dem es an quicker Leichtigkeit, belanglosem Umgang und dahergesagter Nettigkeit so ganz und gar mangelt. \u2013 Seinen Entscheidungen geht ein langes F\u00fcr und Wider voraus.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That's why it's not easy for me\u2014and I'm being honest here\u2014to say a few words about him and his work.

No decoration, only occasional elegant arabesques\u2014rare moments of graphic exuberance, which nevertheless remain strictly opposed to anything bizarre. At the same time, this clarity seems to me to work with a double meaning. Namely, when clear geometric forms become labyrinths, floating strangely weightless in an infinite space or forming towers whose stability is deceptive. As I said, these are not stories. This is pure form.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The art of fugue can also be explained mathematically\u2014but who can explain its spirituality?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I asked Wolfram when he had actually moved away from figurative, visually familiar representational art, he fell into his familiar state of contemplation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later, he knows for sure that he was already doing both at college:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The portrait and the nude emerged\u2014traditional forms in the best sense of the word\u2014and he was equally fascinated by the alphabet of geometry, the constructive, the logic of forms, and their diverse relationships.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is the desire, but also the drama of precision, accuracy, solid craftsmanship, and depth.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He never does anything lightly; Wolfram always seeks the complicated path.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Where many of us have long since found an answer, he continues to probe, never letting anything rest. This is also how he approaches his artistic material, how he approaches his drawing paper.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It's not an easy life\u2014no glamorous r\u00e9sum\u00e9 as a bon vivant.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Schauen wir uns, das Konstrukt\u00a0 von Linien, feinsten Strichstrukturen und sich ausbalancierenden Formen an.

The contrasts between black and white are rarely evoked with full force, but are mostly explored in a thoughtful manner.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And the drawings reveal something else: a reluctance, almost a panic, about making grand gestures. Even though today, that's usually the only thing that works...<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But to whom and what?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These leaves, surrounding us, finely framed, surrounded by elegant passe-partout space, are of a truly anachronistic tranquility. They neither bluff nor rely on the slightest effect, nor do they trust the exhibitionist urge for self-expression that most artists achieve so easily.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wolfram seems to be hiding behind his minimalist pictograms. Perhaps we shouldn't get too close to him, and perhaps we can sense more of him in his works than he thinks, than he would like?<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But perhaps that is a mistake...<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">There is his withdrawal from what most of us believe to be the world. Wolfram sometimes reminds me a little of Diogenes in his barrel.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That was his world, his depth, his truth. And who would dispute that, for how can I justify my reality as the real one? This turning away from the external may give strength for spiritual exploration, does not need maximalist outbursts, but tests the inner essence of forms, things, signs. It seems like a concentration on the center, the essence, that which became essential to him.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That may be modesty, but not the kind whose timidity takes your breath away, which is modest without any ideas. I am thinking more of that almost old-fashioned reverence for moderation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Und Noblesse erkl\u00e4rt sich &#8211; so konnte ich jedenfalls beobachten- keineswegs\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 durch die Quantit\u00e4t.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Or is this almost manic focus on form a kind of escape? This withdrawal would be in keeping with Wolfram's nature.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This, too, is a test case, his variations on the theme.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One question\u2014and many answers are possible. For him, it is a seemingly inexhaustible field in which he wanders until exhaustion. It is also a vast field, as Fontane has his Briest say melancholically. For he will never be satisfied with the final answer, the form he has found.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This drives him, makes him restless, and ultimately only finds peace in the solitude of his studio. There he circles around the form, perhaps thinking of some drawings as larger, more sculptural impressions\u2014made of fine materials, without decorative concessions.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the images, which can be understood as variations on a theme, are not based on dramatic processes; very quietly, gradually, they suggest changes one after the other\u2014somewhat reminiscent of Wolfram's insistent questioning when he finds a situation implausible and suspects inappropriate sloppiness.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But change does not come easily\u2014especially when it comes to one's thinking and art.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Now I have put some of my thoughts and feelings into words, but only he can judge whether they do justice to him and his work. Perhaps he will take issue with some of the sentences, disagree with them\u2014I wouldn't be surprised. That's just like him. I expect it.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STIFTUNG WOLFRAM BECK Men\u00fc Home Bildhauerei Preis Biographie Werkverzeichnis Archiv WOLFRAM BECK Wolfram Karl Richard Beck 30.4.1930 Greiz \u2013 10.1.2004 Berlin \u00a0 Wolfram Beck war das erstgeborene Kind eines Kaufmanns und einer Kunststickermeisterin.
