Ottmar Hörl is a German conceptual artist, sculptor, installation, action, photography, and object artist.

He is considered an "offensive and direct strategist campaigning for a new type of public art" and the most successful artist creating multiples, an artist implementing his vision of art for everyone and promoting the democratisation of sculpture like no other so far. His important contributions in the field of fine arts have earned him several awards, the latest of which, the CREO Innovation Award, was granted by the German Society for Creativity and presented to Hörl at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main in 2015.
