The third volume on works from the Wemhöner Collection paints a multifaceted picture of Heiner Wemhöner’s view of art. The everyday life of the Herford entrepreneur is accompanied by figurative sculptures by Trak Wendisch, Frank Dornseif, Stephan Balkenhol and Peter Stauss, as well as works of the Italian Transavanguardia.

The reduced stone settings by Ulrich Rückriem and Reinhard Buxel enter into dialogue with the dynamically curved bronzes by Tony Cragg. Ernesto Neto found his way into the collection with his poetic play of space, memory and physicality; a “steel line” by Bernar Venet found its place only shortly before the publication was completed. Asta Gröting’s cast of a field or Bettina Pousttchi’s alarmingly leaning street bollards are also examined in terms of their content-related and formal references: art historian Ulrike Münter comments on the works, while Heiner Wemhöner provides personal insights into his collecting practice in an interview.

Special attention is paid to the interplay of sculpture and place. Berlin photographer Andrea Stappert documents the works where they have found their place in Heiner Wemhöner’s living and working environment.
