Gloria Friedmann
Gloria Friedmann (* 1950 in Kronach ) is a German / French installation artist and sculptor .
life and work
For her sculptural work, Friedmann initially only used material taken from nature, such as leaves, bark, wood, fur, wax and stones. She then found installations in which she integrated symbolic architectural structures into natural situations.
Works in public space such as “Here + Now” - the Victims of National Socialist Justice in Hamburg (1997) before the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg made them known to a wider public.
The artist moved to France in 1982. She is married to her colleague Bertrand Lavier , the couple lives and works in Aignay-le-Duc .
