Georg Karl Pfahler (1926-2002)

Georg Karl Pfahler studied at the art academies of Nuremberg and Stuttgart. From the early 1960s he painted in crisply defined areas of flat colour, becoming the leading German exponent of hard-edge painting, and in 1970 he was one of the artists chosen to represent Germany at the Venice Biennale. He later taught at the Nuremberg Academy. Alongside his paintings he made screenprints and colour-space sculptures.
