Munich blacksmith and metal designer Otto Baier has been inextricably linked with Bavarian and German arts and crafts for over 50 years. Born in 1943 into one of the oldest smithies in Munich Obermenzing, he grew up there and was familiar with the forge fire from the very beginning. After training as a blacksmith, he completed his education with the master craftsman's examination and the state examination as a graduate designer at the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen. In addition to teaching at the master schools for blacksmiths in Munich and Augsburg between 1970 and 1983, he made a name for himself as a freelance metal designer. As early as 1969 he was represented in exhibitions such as the international Kunstschmiedetage in Lindau or in 1970 in the special show "Exempla" at the International Crafts Fair in Munich. In the more than 50 years of his creative period, works of the highest quality have been created in metal.

Galerie Handwerk (Gallery Craft) honours his work in this solo exhibition and shows works from the 1960s to current pieces.
