Carsten Höller

Originally trained as a biologist, German-Belgian artist Carsten Höller embarked on his artistic career in the 1980s. His surprising and playful works have made him one of the biggest names on the international contemporary art scene. He has exhibited giant slides at the Tate Modern in London, let out live reindeer and canaries at the Hamburger Bahnhof and installed rotating carousels at the New Museum in New York.
