Ben Muthofer (1937-2020) (real name Norbert Muthofer;) was a German visual artist (künstler in German) associated with constructive-concrete art. He was a sculptor and graphic artist. His international career included a period in the United States in 1968, where he worked in the studios of Alexander Calder and Ernest Trova. From 1968 to 1975, he served as a lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He was appointed professor at Reykjavik's Myndlista art school in 1985 and returned to Germany in 1993, living and working in Munich and Ingolstadt from 1997. Muthofer donated 160 of his works to the Kulturforum Ostdeutsche Kunst in Regensburg in 2008 and 2009, establishing the Ben Muthofer Stiftung (Foundation). His works have been offered at auction multiple times, with prices ranging depending on the artwork's size and medium.
