Gerhard von Graevenitz (19 September 1934 Schilde, Prignitz/Mark Brandenburg – 20 August 1983, Habkern/Traubachtal) was a German kinetic artist,[1][2] co-founding member of the Nouvelle Tendance[3] and member of the op-art movement.[4] He also belonged to the international circle of the Zero-Group.[5] He is seen as one of the uncompromising representatives of the constructive-concrete art of the younger generation (since 1958).
