Hans Kotter (born 1966 in Muhldorf am Inn, Bayern, Germany) is a German artist whose art consists of lighting effects and color interacting with the environment. [1] [2]
After growing up in Germany, from 1993–94, Hans Kotter studied at the Art Students League of New York.

He has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003. 2007-13, he has been a Lecturer at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart. [3]
He works with photography, conceptual, light and installation art. [4] The light sculptures that he is best known integrate mirrors and color-changing lights or incorporate the photographs, Kotter produces by shooting light reflecting off of various prisms. Appearing in exhibitions with Adolf Luther, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, François Morellet, Kotter is able to create works that are constantly in flux and open to viewer interaction [5]
Hans Kotter’s work focuses on the physical, artistic elements of light, color, and space. He is interested in the changing appearance of these elements under different physical conditions. [6] He creates both small individual works of art and large-scale installations, which rely on light and often integrate photography. [7] [8]
Kotter’s work has been exhibited at numerous galleries and museums throughout Europe and the United States since the early 1990s.

Hans Hofmann was a German-born American painter, renowned as both an artist and teacher. His career spanned two generations and two continents, and is considered to have both preceded and influenced Abstract Expressionism. Born and educated near Munich, he was active in the early twentieth-century European avant-garde and brought a deep understanding and synthesis of Symbolism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism when he emigrated to the United States in 1932. Hofmann's painting is characterized by its rigorous concern with pictorial structure and unity, spatial illusionism, and use of bold color for expressive means. The influential critic Clement Greenberg considered Hofmann's first New York solo show at Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of This Century in 1944 as a breakthrough in painterly versus geometric abstraction that heralded abstract expressionism. In the decade that followed, Hofmann's recognition grew through numerous exhibitions, notably at the Kootz Gallery, culminating in major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art (1957) and Museum of Modern Art (1963), which traveled to venues throughout the United States, South America, and Europe. His works are in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, National Gallery of Art, and Art Institute of Chicago.
