Ottmar Hörl is an German conceptual artist, sculptor, installation, action, photography, and object artist. He achieved worldwide popularity due to his radical, avant-garde art concepts as well as large-scale projects featuring serial sculptures in public spaces, based on his distinctive definition of sculpture as an organisational principle. He is considered an "offensive and direct strategist campaigning for a new type of public art" and the most successful artist creating multiples, an artist implementing his vision of art for everyone and promoting the democratisation of sculpture like no other so far. As an artist, he was discredited in 2008 because of his art project "Poisoned" where he’s had many gnomes in line bring the hitler salute. Although he wanted to provoke and protest against the emerging National Socialism, this was not understood by everyone. The gnome is weather resistant. Ottmar Hörl is strongly inspired by artists as Kaws, Jason Freeny, Jeff Koons, D*Face and Popek. Shipped worldwide secured with tracking.
