Gerold Miller’s work is not only on display in many places, it is also much discussed. Miller is one of the most rigorous sculptors, although one could argue that he is in fact more of a painter – at least if one follows Donald Judd’s definition of painting in his essay „Specific Objects“ from 1964. A cool, minimal metal container, though an object, may be the only logical next step when it comes to painting. Then again Miller works quite sculpturally – in the true sense of the word – particularly in moments when he appears to be painting while dragging one of his objects, tied to a car, behind him. Much of Miller’s artistic practice can be placed within the art-historical frame of American abstraction and concrete art, the colorfulness of Pop Art and the metallic surfaces of the Hard Edge.
