About Eddie Wolfram

Born in 1940 in Essen, Germany, Eddie Wolfram moved to England in 1948 and began exhibiting at a young age—his first solo show took place at Woodstock Gallery, London, in 1958. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s he developed a distinctive practice across painting and collage while engaging with wider cultural scenes in London and beyond.

Alongside his studio work, Wolfram wrote for publications including Art & Artists, Studio International and Arts Review, contributed the introduction to a Magritte monograph (1972), and taught widely—serving as Head of Fine Art at Croydon College of Art and as a visiting lecturer at institutions such as the Royal College of Art and St Martin’s. His exhibition history spans solo shows and significant group exhibitions across the UK and Europe.

A contributor and critic as well as an educator, he was a contributing editor at Art & Artists (1968–71), wrote for numerous magazines, and in 1971 began producing video works related to his paintings. Wolfram’s interdisciplinary outlook shaped his teaching and public writing, and the archive reflects this breadth—bringing together artworks, exhibition records, press coverage, and publications to map a career active from the 1950s through the 1990s.
