Born 1939 – Died 2017
Born Ralf Winkler in Dresden, Penck played a key role in East German underground art from the 1950s to the 1970s. He was a founding member of the socialist artist’s groups ‘Erste Phalanx Nedserd’ (in 1953) and ‘Die Lücke TPT’ (in 1971). After moving to West Germany in 1980, he became associated with the ‘new figuration’ promoted by artists such as Georg Baselitz and Markus Lüpertz.
