Franklin Pühn
1925 Erfurt - 2020 Heidenheim
Franklin Pühn trained as a wood sculptor in his native Erfurt and began his liberal arts studies at the "Stuttgarter Akademie" in 1948, graduating in 1953.
In 1950 he married the pianist and piano teacher Regina Maria Kittel. The marriage gave birth to two daughters, Angelika, *1951, school councilor in Dithmarschen/North Friesland and Michaela, *1957, pianist, professor and prorector at the "Hochschule für Musik und Theater" in Munich.
From 1954 Pühn lived in Heidenheim an der Brenz. He created several works that helped shape the cityscape and was chairman of the Heidenheim Art Association for almost 40 years.
As a freelance artist, Pühn participated in more than 30 group exhibitions between 1969 and 2015, contested 22 solo exhibitions, and created a large number of sculptures for public spaces. For his 95th birthday, the city of Heidenheim dedicated an exhibition to him at the Kunstmuseum, where the artist showed about 30 recent works. Pühn used stone, wood, bronze and aluminum. In the 1980s he came to paper as an independent material. From this he developed various works ranging from small objects to larger-than-life sculptures.
He was awarded the medal of his hometown Heidenheim for special merits as well as the Federal Cross of Merit.
