Obituary Timm Ulrichs
With great sadness we say goodbye to Timm Ulrichs (*1940). The exceptional artist passed away on April 29, 2026, in Berlin. One of the great, perhaps the greatest German post-war artist, has left us. We mourn with his widow Ursula Neugebauer.
Indeed, the first personal contact for the Renate Bender Gallery only took place in 2007 at an exhibition opening at the ALTANA Gallery Dresden featuring works by Prof. Werner Ruhnau and Peter Weber, at which Timm Ulrichs gave a lecture (see image). But soon the opportunity arose to exhibit his conceptually not only demanding but also very humorous and subtle textual creations in the gallery. The last time in autumn 2023 in the exhibition 'IN TOUCH WITH LIGHT'… and it was planned that many more would follow.
We will remember him as a wakeful spirit, great thinker, and best friend, and we will cherish his impressive and extraordinary body of work in conceptual art.
