German-Danish sculptor and visual artist (born 1959)
Christian Lemmerz (born January 30, 1959) is a German-Danish sculptor and visual artist who attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in Carrara, Italy, from 1978 to 1982 and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1983 to 1988.[1] Despite classical sculpture training in Carrara, Lemmerz drew his main inspiration from the post-war process-oriented pop art, not least from his fellow countryman, Joseph Beuys.[2]
In the early 1980s Lemmerz was part of the Danish artist collective Værkstedet Værst[3] and the performance group Performancegruppen Værst.[4] He conducted numerous performances there from 1985 to 1994, many of these alongside lifelong friend and artist Michael Kvium.[5][6]
For his artistic achievements, Lemmerz was honoured with Thorvaldsen's Medal in 2009 and the Eckersberg Medal in 2008. In 2015 he received the New Carlsberg Foundation's Artist Grant.[2]
