Wilhelm Loth was one of the most important German sculptors of the post-war period.
Over the course of five decades, Loth created an extensive, unmistakable oeuvre centered on the female body as a torso. This theme also occupied him in his drawings and watercolors as well as in the printing techniques of woodcut, etching and lithography. His early works on paper, which also include portraits and full-length depictions, reflect his search for an abstract, independent form of representation.
After the Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe dedicated a comprehensive retrospective of his sculptural work to Loth in 2001, the presentation will now focus on a selection of his prints, which are part of the municipal art museum's collection.
