Imi Knoebel was born in Dessau, Germany in the year 1940. Knoebel is renowned for his work in a minimalist style that also has an emphasis of color and space. His early works were in black and white, but since adding color the artist has become one of my favorite contemporary artists.
Knoebel attended the Academy of Art in Dusseldorf where he studied under Joseph Beuys.
