Corbinian Böhm
1966– · German painter, sculptor and installation artist
Corbinian Böhm (born Munich, 7 August 1966) is a German artist trained in art history and sculpture. He grew up in Munich with five siblings, one of whom is the ski mountaineer Benedikt Böhm. After finishing secondary school with the Abitur, he studied art history at the LMU Munich until 1990.
He then completed an apprenticeship as a sculptor in wood and stone and went on to study sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. His teachers there reportedly included Hans Ladner, Pia Stadtbäumer, Antony Gormley, Timm Ulrichs, Asta Gröting and Rita McBride. Since 1995 he has worked with Michael Gruber under the name Empfangshalle, and in 2000 he received the "Meisterschüler" diploma, comparable to a Master of Fine Arts.
His work spans sculpture, installation and painting, and his collaboration with Gruber is one of the most notable features of his career.
