A. R. Penck (1939–2017) is regarded as one of the most important German artists of the postwar era. The painter, graphic artist, and sculptor born in Dresden developed a distinctive visual language of line figures, signs, symbols, and apparently primitive or archaic forms. His works frequently deal with communication, social structures, and the comprehensibility of signs.

Penck became internationally known especially for his reduced, coded visual language and is associated with the art of the “New Wild”: 1980s. His works are present in numerous major international collections.
