  • The artist Andreas Kopp was born in 1959 in Amsterdam. He studied Fine Arts at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf at the early age of seventeen and was awarded with the Ernst-Barlach-Price in 1992. He received a "Golden Record" for his record cover of Auf dem Kreuzzug ins Glück for more than 250.000 sold copies from the Düsseldorf based punk-rock band "Die Toten Hosen" (1990). Since his first one-person show (1991), which was presented at the Goethe-Institut Rotterdam and the Littmann Gallery in Basel, the art of Andreas Kopp is shown in numerous group and one-person shows all over Europe and Japan, gaining massive recognition and advancements. Trademark of his multilayered work is the use of metal as basis of his paintings, sometimes with cuts and corroded engravings. Due to its plasticity the metal ground supports Kopp's balance of spatiality and surface. This understanding for spacious aspects of art leaded him to several public and private commissions. Under more he designed the interior glass-facades for Europe's biggest event-dome, the Cologne-Arena, a commission followed by the placement of five huge artpieces in the neighboring new Cologne city hall (2000). Both buildings were designed by Böhm Architects, Cologne. In 2008 a 10 m high, enlightened "marker Tree" will be established in Dublin, landmarking the south gate on the motorway at Tallaght. His latest success "to the unknown Broker", a 850-piece series of small metal sheets dealing with the leaf-gilded aspects of a digitally linked up world, was presented in 2007 in a private museum in Zürich and at the Bundesverband Deutscher Banken, Berlin, which purchased wide parts of the "broker series" for their permanent collection. In 2008 a small synagogue in Vöhl, one of the very few having survived the Nazi-years undestroyed, will reopen its Museum wing with a temporary installation in the center hall and graphics of Andreas Kopp. Spending most of his life in cities like Amsterdam, Hamburg, the Hague, Berlin and Cologne he now lives with his Jamaican partner in life and their daughter in an idyllic rural area in the very heart of Germany.
