Erich Hauser

Erich Hauser (15 December 1930, Rietheim – 28 March 2004, Rottweil) was a German sculptor.

He transformed composed surfaces into hollow sculptures to be viewed from all sides, showing edgy burrs and caves.

Hauser assembled the metal elements in such a way that they finally became regular hollow bodies.

Since 1967 he made his sculptures from polished metal discs shaped as pipes divided lengthwise.

Since the 1970s he created numerous sculptures for public places e. g. in Darmstadt, Hanover, Kiel and Kassel.

He accepted commissions, and also created small sculptures of crescent-shaped discs on cubic blocks.

Next to his workshop in the so-called Saline, he created a sculpture garden, where the Art Foundation Erich Hauser, which was founded in 1996, keeps presenting his works to this day.
