Description
Artist Description:
Gerd Winner is a German painter, sculptor and a pioneering graphic artist. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in the 1950s and 1960s where he lives and works today.
He developed a style of hyper-realism using computer techniques and photography producing several series of screenprints which frequently relate to uncelebrated and overlooked urban architecture.
In 1970, Winner came to London supported by the British Council and began an extensive cooperation with Chris Prater and the Kelpra Studios. Several series of London-based photorealist screenprints followed. St.Katharine’s Way, London Docks and London Transport were published by Marlborough Graphics in 1971 and in 1972, Kelpra Editions produced a further series which included Underground and Thames Sunday Afternoon.
Winner has works in most major international collections including The Tate and MOMA in New York.
