Almuth Tebbenhoff VPRSS In Conversation - Sculpture Terrace Series

Join Almuth Tebbenhoff VPRSS whose Red Head Sunset Stack is now on display on the sculpture terrace at Dora House for an artist in conversation event on Wednesday 3 September at 5pm via Zoom. Almuth will be in conversation with Isabel de Vasconcellos independent curator and writer and the presenter of our ongoing series Behind the Studio Doors.

The galleries at Dora House are currently closed for building works to deliver our project, Creating a Home for Sculptors but during this period, the sculpture terrace will continue to feature contemporary sculpture and we are pleased to have Red Head Sunset Stack on view now until Sunday 21 July.  Click here to find out more.

Almuth was born in Germany in 1949, came to England in 1966 as a student exchange and stayed. She studied ceramics at Sir John Cass School of Art 1972-5, made pots and surreal clay sculpture. In 1981 Almuth set up a studio in Wandsworth and expanded her practice to include metal fabrication. For a while she worked very minimalistic then developed her own style.

Since 1980 Almuth has exhibited, lectured, tutored, experimented, developed and learnt to carve marble which is very grown up. Over four decades she made many sculptures which are in collections worldwide.

Isabel de Vasconcellos is an independent curator and cultural producer, with extensive experience collaborating with artists and visual arts organisations to realise world-class public commissions and exhibitions. She writes on contemporary art, photography and design, and is the author of Fourth Plinth: How London Created the Smallest Sculpture Park in the World.
