Born in 1975 in Büdingen (DE), Alexander Blank was initially drawn to photography but became an apprentice to a goldsmith, a neighbor of the photographer with whom he had planned to study. After two years of professional training in Hanau and Hanover, he enrolled at the Design Academy in Hanau, where he discovered contemporary jewelry. From 2004 to 2010, he pursued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the guidance of Otto Künzli. Selected on numerous occasions for the prestigious Schmuck exhibition in Munich, he received the Herbert Hoffmann Prize in 2012. Many of his works are part of private and public collections, including the Pinakothek der Moderne (Munich), the National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh), the CODA Museum (Apeldoorn, NL), the Kestner Museum (Hanover, DE), and the Hiko Mizuno Collection (JP). In 2024, the Deutschen Goldschmiedehaus in Hanau and, in 2025, the Schmuckmuseum in Pforzheim dedicated retrospective exhibitions to his work.
From September 13 to October 11, 2025, Alexander Blank presents his solo exhibition low hum long drum at the gallery.
