Ludwig Wilding
Grünstadt 1927 – Buchholz in der Nordheide 2010.
Uno dei massimi esponenti dell’arte cinetica in Germania, Wilding nacque a Grünstadt. Dopo aver studiato storia dell’arte e filosofia all’università di Magonza frequentò i corsi dell’accademia di Belle Arti di Stoccarda con Willi Baumeister.
Nel 1960, Wilding entrò in contatto con il GRAV a Parigi e divenne inoltre un membro della Nouvelle Tendance: partecipò con questo gruppo nel 1965, alla mostra presso il Musee des Art Decoratives, Parigi, e nello stesso anno alla grande esposizione The Responsive Eye al MoMa di New York.
Nel 1967, il suo lavoro fu incluso nella mostra Kinetika al Museum des 20 Jarhunderts a Vienna. Nel 1969, espose alla galleria Denise René a Parigi, e nel 1976 espose in una mostra personale alla Kunsthalle di Düsseldorf.
Nel 1983, il suo lavoro fu incluso in L'ultima avanguardia a Palazzo Reale, Milano. Nel 2004 vennero esposti alcuni pezzi nella mostra Eyes, Lies, and Illusions alla Hayward Gallery, Londra e nel 2007 partecipò a Optic Nerve: Perceptual Art of the 1960s presso il The Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio.
Sempre nel 2007, il Museum für Konkrete Kunst di Ingolstadt propose un’ampia antologica, mentre nel 2008 espose all'Espace Meyer Zafra a Parigi, e nel 2012 presso la Galerie Renate Kammer ad Amburgo.
Nel 2013, la Galleria Dep Art riportò in mostra le opere di Ludwig Wilding, dopo quasi dieci anni dall’ultima esposizione italiana curata da Getulio Alviani alla Arte Struktura.
Morì a Buchholz in der Nordheide il 4 gennaio 2010.
