Karl Horst Hödicke (German, b. 1938) is a key artist in the German neo-expressionist movement and New Figuration. Born in Nuremberg in Germany, he began to study architecture at the Technische Universität in Berlin in 1959 and finally joined the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin where he studied painting with Fred Thieler. He joined the Vision group in 1961 with the artist Bernd Koberling and the Großgörschen 35 gallery with Koberling and Markus Lüpertz. In the same year, Hödicke received the German Art Award for Youth Painting. At this time, Hödicke's work mixed both figurative and abstract elements. While in New York, he spent a year making experimental films and received the Villa Massimo scholarship in 1968. His return to Europe was marked by a change in his technique; he begins to experiment with plastic. This change is particularly evident in his 1972 work entitled Kalter Fluss which consists of buckets of tar poured from the ceiling and walls. From 1974 to 2006 he worked as a professor of painting at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin. He won the German Critic's prize in 1983 and the Fred Thieler Prize for painting in 1998. He currently lives and works in Berlin.
