Collection: Lothar Osterburg: New Editions
February 27-April 15, 2026
Lothar Osterburg is a German-born artist and master intaglio printer based in New York, working in sculpture, photography, printmaking, and video. He is best known for his copper-plate photogravures, which feature rough, small-scale models crafted from readily available or found materials. These images, which depict evocative settings all imagined, are photographed to appear life-size, creating a disorienting, mysterious, or whimsical effect. New Editions at Planthouse features five recent photogravures by Osterburg. In each print, the scene is devoid of people, allowing the viewer to inhabit each scene as if it were part of their memory. Cabinet of Wonders, a mid-career survey, opens this spring at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, Germany.
