Günther Förg developed a restrained, conceptually driven practice in deliberate opposition to the expressive figuration that dominated Germany in the 1980s. His multidisciplinary work brought together sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography, and drawing, generating meaning through the juxtaposition of diverse media and the disciplined rigor of minimalist, grid-based compositions. Themes of fragmentation and Germany’s fraught political landscape recur throughout his oeuvre.Förg is also widely recognized for his striking architectural photographs. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and exhibited internationally in cities including London, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong, New York, Milan, and Rome.His work is held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Tate, and the Museum Ludwig.
