Karl-Heinz Richter
Karl-Heinz Richter (born February 4, 1946 in Halberstadt ) is a German sculptor .
From 1963 to 1965 Karl-Heinz Richter trained as a ceramist at the porcelain factory in Colditz . He then completed a teacher training course in Zwickau and worked as a teacher at various schools. Since 1987 he has been working as a freelance sculptor in Chemnitz .
Typical of Richter's work are his figures and drawings of buxom women and men. In 1994 Lothar-Günther Buchheim wrote about Richter's female characters: “ They don't want to go on the catwalk, don't want aerobics or belly dancing, they don't want to roll over catwalks and poke around under Jupiter lamps. They want cake! Dutch cherry, Sachertorte and pralines too, of course. Not the simple ones that taste like dead hairdressers, but the fine cream mocha and butter truffles from Switzerland. "
