Bernhard Heiliger
Sculpture
Bernhard Heiliger was a German sculptor whose abstract bronze forms emerged from the postwar modernist tradition. Working primarily in cast bronze, he developed a vocabulary of biomorphic and geometric abstraction that rejected representational figuration. His monumental public works and smaller chamber pieces explore the tension between organic growth and architectural rigor. Heiliger's practice bridged European constructivism and American abstract expressionism during the Cold War era.
