Gerold Miller

Gerold Miller is a contemporary artist born in 1961 in Altshausen, Germany, and currently based between Berlin, Germany, and Pistoia, Italy. He studied sculpture at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart, graduating in 1989 under the tutelage of Professor Jürgen Brodwolf. He subsequently received scholarships to study in Chicago, New York, Paris, and Sydney. Miller's work focuses on minimalist and abstract visual experiences that explore the fundamental elements of painting and sculpture. His signature artworks are painted sculptures made from aluminum sheets coated with brightly colored industrial lacquers, giving them a high-gloss finish. The reflective experience, as well as the scale of the works, transform the space and create a continuous tension between the objects and the surrounding space. Miller repeatedly works with sequences of similar geometric forms and therefore his practice can be seen as a collective vision that always has a contemporary reference. Miller's works have been exhibited and acquired by museums and private collections worldwide, including the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, the Kunsthalle Weishaupt in Ulm, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the Neues Museum in Nuremberg, the art collection of the German Bundestag in Berlin, the Museo de Arte Concreto in Ingolstadt, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano in Buenos Aires, the Museum of Modern Art Vienna, the Kunsthalle Winterthur, the Takasaki Art Museum, the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, the Opera City Gallery in Tokyo, the Brisbane Institute of Modern Art, the Kunsthaus Bregenz, the Daimler AG collection in Stuttgart/Berlin, the Esbjerg Museum, the Museum of Art and History Museum in Neuchâtel, the Art Museum of Italian Switzerland in Lugano, the Ritter Museum in Waldenbuch / Stuttgart, the Rozenblum Foundation in Buenos Aires, the Schauwerk Sindelfingen collection, the Société Générale in Paris, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and the Mies van der Rohe House in Berlin, among others.
