"Jürgen Klauke is a unique figure in the art world. He invented things that are now seen as granted in their repertoire and that have influenced art of the last 30 years significantly. He is a pioneer in the area of multimedia and interdisciplinary artistic exploration. His work creates fascination and irritation in equal measures, oscillating continuously between the poles of attraction and repulsion.
As one of the first artists Jürgen Klauke uses photography as a means of artistic expression. He determinedly navigates its possibilities and edges, comprehensive and multifaceted like no other, and he discovered a completely new territory of art. He raised the question of gender differences more emphatically and more radically than anyone else and highlighted the problem of identity with often provocative images to the extreme. He has been working with the human body since 1970, and used it as an immediate means of artistic expression. He used it as object and vehicle of his art at the same time as Robert Morris and Bruce Nauman. He was one of the most prominent representatives of “Body Art”."
Klaus Honnef, 2002
