Katharina Szelinski-Singer

Katharina Szelinski-Singer was an accomplished sculptor who studied at the Berlin University of the Arts, where she was a master student of Richard Scheibe.

Shortly after finishing her studies in the mid-fifties she was commissioned to do a sculpture for park "Hasenheide" in Berlin.

Katharina Szelinski-Singer was considered an outsider in the art scene:[1] Although following up a different career path she continued to sculpture, but till 1987 her work could only rarely be seen in exhibitions.

With the sculpture series Köpfe (German for: Heads) she was able to free herself to some extent from the influence of her teacher Richard Scheibe and develop new ways to express herself.

This resulted also in a more extensive usage of bronze and gypsum, after a long period of working with natural stone.
