Antes Horst (born 1936) is a German artist and sculptor who originally studied woodcutting under HAP Grieshaber in Karlsruhe. His non-geometric abstract style of art straddles the figurative and L’Art Informel (Informalism) of the mid-, to late, 1940s. His works are exhibited throughout the world and represented in all the most important German collections.
