H&G Artworks:
Steel Sculptures Shaped into Limitless Forms

Steel is durable, strong, versatile, and massive – making it the ideal material for monumental artworks that are meant to last. At H&G Steelforming, engineering expertise meets creativity. The result is custom-made steel sculptures and objects commissioned by renowned artists and architects from around the world.

THE REALISATION OF LARGE-SCALE STEEL
SCULPTURES – H&G STEELFORMING

The name H&G Steelforming is synonymous with precision and quality, a fact that has also been recognised by a renowned circle of national and international artists: this has led to the Burbach enterprise lending its experienced assistance to artists in the realisation of their often large-scale steel sculptures.

FROM BURBACH TO THE WORLD

Richard Serra

New York

The internationally renowned New York artist and sculptor Richard Serra (1938 – 2024), whose large-scale sculptures and steel objects can be seen around the world, collaborated with H&G Steelforming for over 10 years. He appreciated the precise, high-quality realization of his sculptures. In September 2020, the tenth Serra sculpture, “Le Bourget,” was completed in the Steelforming production.

In working with steel, we have continuously expanded our spatial approach and creatively explored new paths – not least thanks to the inspiring personality of Richard Serra.

MASSIVE MINIMALISM

Thomas Röthel

Ansbach

For the southern German artist and sculptor Thomas Röthel, H&G Steelforming also manufactures minimalistic sculptures in solid steel which create the appearance of floating, despite their enormous weight and material. Since the beginning of 2015, over thirty Röthel sculptures have been created in the production halls of H&G Steelforming in Burbach – expansive works of art that form the perfect symbiosis between technical finesse and fantasy, between industrial expertise and artistry, between steel manufacturing and sensitivity.

»IN THE SPACIOUS, IDEALLY EQUIPPED PRODUCTION HALLS OF H&G STEELFORMING GMBH, I NOT ONLY FIND ALL THE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT I NEED, BUT ALSO PEOPLE WITH EXPERTISE WHO INTENSIVELY ATTEND TO MY ARTISTIC DEMANDS WITH GREAT SENSITIVITY!«
