Gerhard Hoehme is considered the leading representative of German Informalism and the creator of one of the most diverse bodies of work in post-war German art.
• The expressive lines, open pictorial spaces, and the eponymous “cross” as a focal point convey movement, disruption, and spiritual depth.
• In 2020, the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where Hoehme himself once studied and taught, held a major retrospective to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth.
• His works are in numerous German museums, including the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main, the ZKM in Karlsruhe, and the Kunsthalle in Kiel
