Thomas Bayrle well-known Frankfurt artist (born in 1937) and prominent representative of German art taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from 1975 to 2002.

 Like Andy Warhol, Bayrle also examined the phenomenon of the "masses" in the 1960s in his drawings, photocopy collages and film animation sequences, examining the idea of generating "superstructures" through geometric patterns of images with a variety of techniques and materials. Bayrle has characterised his work method as follows: "My view of society is flat - horizontal - (electric) field / fabric / network.

The vertical elements are plucked from the surface, like hay grass in a meadow."

 For the biennial Thomas Bayrle has produced Wallpaper For Human Beings. This wallpaper is free and can be carried round by the visitor. Photo in New Herald.
