About
Why this artist matters now
Hans Uhlmann was a German sculptor and draughtsman who worked primarily in iron and steel, creating abstract geometric forms that emerged from his engagement with modernist construction and industrial materials. Born in 1900, he developed a practice centered on linear spatial structures and open-form compositions that anticipated postwar abstraction. His work bridged Constructivism and Concrete Art, emphasizing the expressive potential of industrial metal worked into precise, often monumental configurations. Active across Berlin's artistic circles, Uhlmann remained a significant figure in European abstraction from the interwar period through the 1970s.
