Bernd Berner (1930-2002) was a German painter and professor who is considered one of the most important representatives of post-war abstract art. After training as a lithographer, he turned to painting, influenced by Willi Baumeister and Fernand Léger. From the 1950s onwards, he developed his characteristic "surface spaces" - monochrome, multi-layered color spaces of meditative depth. He was a co-founder of the SYN artists' group (1965-1970), received the Villa Romana Prize (1967) and taught as a professor in Pforzheim from 1971 to 1994. His works can be found in numerous important museums and collections
