Gerd Reutter

Clay and bronze sculptures

He allows the recipient of his art a wide latitude: The associations that arise, not least because of the metaphorical titles, may point in entirely different directions; in fact, in accordance with his method of working, it would be appropriate if a piece changed its meaning from time to time.

Werner Marx, Kunsthalle Mannheim

What his hands [...] create from a mere lump of clay is impressive and stunningly staged.

Mannheimer Morgen (June 8, 1996)

Gerd Reutter's clay sculptures are rarely what they appear to be at first glance. [...] A closer look reveals details, cracks in the surface, strange deformations, something corporeal, soft, as if the hard material were gently dissolving.

Die Rheinpfalz (January 2004)

Brüne Cremer emphasized that many of Reutter`s works are made up of small elements. “They tell stories, are modern and at the same time are reminiscent of antique finds”.
