Joseph Zehrer

Joseph Zehrer (born May 16, 1954, in Perbing, West Germany) is a German visual artist.

His works, exhibited in Europe and America, cover the spectrum from acrylic glass paintings to electric installations involving light and sound.

From 1992 until 1994, together with the music journalist Karl Bruckmaier, Zehrer initiated a series of single topic film events (such as "Beatnik") in Munich.

His works are sculptures, installations, paintings and drawings, und light installations, bearing titles such as "Kunst sieht fern" (Art is watching TV), "Vorhänge - Eingeklemmtes - Melancholiker - Pistolen" (Curtains - Pinched Things - Melancholic - Pistols) and „per plexi“.

The director of the State Gallery Baden-Baden,[1] Karola Grässlin, called Zehrer "not explicitly a painter, since you also create sculptures, drawings, room installations.
