Sculpture "Homage to Christo and Jeanne-Claude XVIII" (2016), stainless steel

In the series of works "Homage to Christo and Jeanne-Claude", Köthe interprets the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin. The folds of the silver fabric, the constriction and the cast shadows flow into his stainless steel sculptures. Steles connected with a steel band remind us of the tied-up lengths of fabric and the bodies facing each other.

About Jan Köthe

Jan Köthe's (born in 1965) sculptural work contrasts the rigid solidity of stainless steel contrasts with the organic shaping of his sculptures, which radiate a dynamic aesthetic all of their own. Köthe became known for this special artistic expression through numerous exhibitions, purchases, art and sponsorship awards.

In 2002, he took part in documenta 11 in Kassel as a guest artist. In 2020, 2022 and 2024, Jan Köthe's works were among the nominees for the Brandenburg Art Prize. He studied at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Dortmund and took sculpture classes taught by Prof. Horst Linn. Today, Jan Köthe lives in Berlin.
