Kurt Fleckenstein (born December 5, 1949) is a German artist/sculptor associated with land art, minimal art and installation art. Fleckenstein was born in Heddesheim near Mannheim in Baden-Württemberg.
His earlier career in landscape architecture, regional planning and horticultural art led to the establishment of several architectural studios in Germany, Austria and Poland.
Since 2003 he has worked as a freelance artist with a focus on spatial objects and installations in exhibition centres and public open space.
His provocative art form is designed to charm, irritate and challenge the viewer to question and compare “idealism with realism” on major social, cultural, economic and environmental issues.
Fleckenstein now divides his home and work life between Mannheim, Germany and Wroclaw, Poland.
