Thomas Demand (b.1964) is a German sculptor and photographer, whose work investigates the persistence of images, ideas of collective memory and destruction.
He has exhibited several times internationally, including solo shows at MoMA, New York, NY, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan and the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Germany.
In 2017, Art of Wishes commissioned Demand to create an artwork inspired by a child’s wish. Choosing Tamir, an eighteen-year-old who wished to have a viola and perform with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, Demand created, and alongside Sprüth Mafers, donated 'Untitled', (2017) to Art of Wishes for auction.
