As a sculptor, Noever worked with natural materials and materials. "His sculptures grow out of wood, ceramic, stainless steel, lead and slate", which constantly pushed the possibilities of what is technically feasible to the limit.

Quote

“ Klaus Peter Noever did not become an artist to be bored, as his extensive work shows. His work resembles an incessant search for new possibilities in the great field of fine arts. Trying out new materials and techniques, experimenting with their specific properties, fascinates and captivates him. In this way, new work processes are constantly being created. [...] As an artist, Klaus Peter Noever is always on the lookout, and there is no doubt: he always finds something useful, surprisingly new, even if it has been put aside for the time being. "
