KLaus PFEIFFER

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Klaus Pfeiffer (1938 in Germany – 2022 in Naxos, Greece) was born and educated in Germany, before moving to Naxos in the 1970s. He was strongly influenced by the Fluxus movement of the 1960s in Germany, which he later combined with local elements such as Greek mythology and social issues like nature conservation on the island. His choice of media also reflects these influences, ranging from classical canvas to Naxotic marble and plastic waste from the river of the Potamia valley. His extensive oeuvre includes paintings, drawings, watercolors, lithographs, woodcuts, etchings, silkscreens, book illustrations, videos, installations and performances.
