Anders Herwald Ruhwald (b. 1974 in Randers, Denmark) lives and works in Denmark. Anders Herwald Ruhwald is a Danish visual artist working with contemporary ceramics and sculptural installation. Ruhwald is known for working with installation and sculpture, often using ceramics as a key element. Ruhwald is drawn to clay for its ubiquity, as well as its dual applications in both design and sculpture. He usually employs both of these histories in his work, while challenging traditional perceptions of the material and its spatial implications.
He has spent the past 20 years living in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 2024, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in New York and has had more than 35 solo exhibitions and 150 group exhibitions at museums and galleries across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
His work has been widely covered by international media including Sightunseen, Forbes, Artspace, Hyperallergic, Contemporary Art Review and Louisiana Channel.
