Anne Wenzel

Since 2000, Anne Wenzel has been building an oeuvre of ceramics, fearlessly diverting its tradition into remarkable sculptures with a brutal sense of decay. Wenzel is intrigued by the symbolic language behind heroism and violence, and the spectacle that tends to accompany these subjects.
