Group Normal

Group Normal is a German Czech group of artists formed in 1979.

Peter Angermann: 90° village, 1984, Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt

It consists of the artists Peter Angermann, Jan Knap and Milan Kunc, who met in the early 1970s at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the classes of Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter. They championed the rejection of individualism and, in line with this, created a large number of joint works – paintings that in some cases were done in public.[1] The declared ambition of the three artists was to overcome the predominating and elitist “academic avantgardism” by an art as demystified and accessible as possible.
