• Playful and varied technique and composition.
• With the invention of the "Kopffüßler" (Head Footer) in the early 1960s, Antes moved his art from abstraction to figuration.
• During these years, Antes also created entirely new pictorial elements that paved the way for his later work.
• In 1966, Horst Antes exhibited in the German pavilion at the XXX. Venice Biennale.
• Works from this year can be found in important museum collections like the Busch-Reisinger Museum of the Harvard Art Museum in Cambridge (Mass.), the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Sprengel Museum in Hanover and the Osthaus Museum in Hagen.
