Wieland Schmiedel: Give Signs

From the sandstone torsos of Schwerin's "Green Valley" to memorials for the victims of the death marches, Schmiedel's sculptures are public testaments to human tragedy

Sculptor Wieland Schmiedel (1942-2021) left behind a powerful body of work inspired by and dedicated to German memorial culture after World War II. Give Signs is a comprehensive reassessment of his work through the lenses of ideology, victimization and commemoration.
