Ruth Vulto Gaube, born in 1960 in Germany, graduated as a sculptor from the Alanus University of Arts
and Social Sciences in Bonn, Germany in 1988. Since 1991 she has been living in the Netherlands, where she works as
an independent artist, regularly taking part in national and international exhibitions
In 2010 she finished a monument for the city of Workum (Netherlands) honouring the members of the resistance movement
during World War II. It represents a call against violence and oppression at all times. This monument was cut out of
stone with the assistance of about 250 children. Through their close work with the sculptor, the message of the monument
is not only expressed in stone, but also started a process of awareness within them.
Ruth Vulto Gaube´s sculptures are organic - abstract, mostly made from stone, wood or bronze.
For the last several years her main theme has been to make music visible through tangible three-dimensional forms.
