Helmut Sturm
Subverting the Real
Helmut Sturm’s paintings radiate powerful colours and forms, yet are simultaneously both lyrically tender and poetical. He developed his individual pictorial language in a study of Cubism and Art "Informel" as well as artists like Max Beckmann, Asger Jorn and Willem de Kooning. The publication pays tribute to one of the most important witnesses of abstract-expressive
painting in Germany.

description
Helmut Sturm (1932–2008) was the initiator of the SPUR artists’ group (1957–1965) and was at one time closely associated with the Situationist International movement. From 1985 he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich as the successor to Günter Fruhtrunk. Characteristic of his painting is the free association of representational and abstract elements, the energy of disorder and the delight in chance. This multi-faceted volume shows Sturm’s impressive and diverse creative works from 1957–2007.
