Rita Maria Walburga Grosse-Ruyken (born 29 November 1948) is a contemporary German artist,[1][2] sculptor, multimedia installation art, artfilm and performance,[3] producer artist and member of the Association of German Artists Deutscher Kuenstlerbund. The core of her light – sound – space – form installations comprise sculptures in motion made from pure gold and silver. She became internationally known through her exhibition Rays of Light.[1]

Career

Rita Maria Walburga Grosse-Ruyken was born in Donauwörth, and grew up in a hamlet in the Swabian-Danube region.[1] From an early age she became aware of natural phenomena and followed phonetic sound bridges. After Abitur, from 1970 to 1972, she studied Romance and English Language and Literature at the LMU in Munich.[4]

From 1971 to 1977 she dedicated herself autodidactically to the study of the art of the goldsmith under the guidance of Professor Franz Rickert und Hermann Juenger at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. She was also influenced by Professor Guenther Fruhtrunk, a constructivist painter as well as by the religious philosopher Aloys Goergen, the president of the Academy.[5] From 1977 to 1978 she studied art history and archeology at the University of the Sorbonne in Paris. She concluded her studies with the state examination in art education and the academic diploma as an artist goldsmith.[4][6][7][8][9]

From 1983 on she has worked freelance dedicating herself to researching the transparency, colour, light and movement of sculptures.[10] Since 1993, in her continual exchange with astrophysicists, musicians, philosophers, writers, sound technicians and architects,[1] she has been expanding her activities into the performance art[11] and into exploring of Primary Sounds produced by integrated sculptures made from pure gold and pure silver which create motion in and by themselves. Since 2008 she has been involved in the production of art films.[10]

Samples of her work are included in the permanent collections of the International Design Museum, the Pinakothek der Moderne[12][13] in Munich as well as the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin[14] and Museum Angewandte Kunst, MAK Frankfurt a. M.
