Alf Lechner
Born in : Munich - 1925
Alf Lechner, a contemporary German sculptor, started his career as a painter, studying from 1940 to 1950 by Alf Bachmann, a traditionalist landscape painter, near Lake Starnberg.

Biography   
Alf Lechner has worked since 1950 as a graphic artist, industrial designer and inventor. He has designed chairs and lamps, including lighting for operation theatres, which he made himself at his own small factory.

It was not until 1961 that Alf Lechner began to devote himself more intensively to sculpture, producing his first works in steel. These pieces are, on the one hand, defined by the material steel, with which Alf Lechner has worked virtually to the exclusion of all others, and, on the other, by basic geometric forms, which are variously juxtaposed paratactically, multiplied, divided or interlocking.
