Paper-heap (Papierhaufen) from En Bloc

Reiner Ruthenbeck was a German sculptor and installation artist whose work emerged from Minimalism and conceptual practice in the postwar period. Working primarily with industrial materials, stone, and site-specific interventions, he created formally austere pieces that engaged with spatial perception and the relationship between object and environment. His practice bridged sculpture and installation, often emphasizing material restraint and geometric precision.
