Jos Manders (1932 - 1978)

Dutch sculptor and designer

Jos Manders had a short career as an industrial designer before moving on to become an artist. His most well known design pieces are those made in collaboration with Martin Visser. Manders’s sculptural practice was influenced by the Zero Group, a loosely organised art movement that emphasised the role of art materials and the relationship between light and space.
