Hede Bühl’s (*1940) work has focused on one keytopic for many years: the human figure. Her aim is not to explore individual expression but to investigate fundamental sculptural questions. Her most well-known and extensive collection of works is her series of head sculptures, which the artist creates from stone, bronze, and occasionally aluminum, lead, or plastic. These sculptures are both reduced to simple basic forms and are accentuated through elongations, curvatures, straps, and clips. They inspire numerous interpretations while never giving up their mystery or ambiguity. In 1980, Hede Bühl moved to a house and studio in Düsseldorf, which she subsequently converted to suit her needs and where she still lives and works today. Over the decades, both the interior and exterior spaces have been transformed through a great number of sculptures and large-format drawings. Their arrangement is constantly changed, creating a variety of different impressions. In August 2020, Thomas Köster documented the unique atmosphere of the artist’s studio over the course of a single day. Bühl accepted this “external gaze” on the condition that she could later participate in the selection of images. The result is a book that offers an intimate view of her home and studio. By sharing personal memories, the artist provides an introduction to the history of the house and to her creative practice.
