BERND HAUSSMANN born in Tübingen, Germany, in 1957. He studied at the Merz Akademie. He has been a US resident since 1994.
He divides his time between the north shore of Boston and western Maine, where he also works with his wife Anne on a 450-acre nature project. Haussman's work explores color, gesture, texture and surface. He works in mixed media in paintings on metal, acrylic glass, wood, canvas and paper.
His work is in the manner of Abstract Expressionism. Particularly the Provincetown school of Hans Hoffmann, Helen Frankenthaler, Nell Blaine, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Gerome Kamrowski etc.
Haussmann exhibits nationally and internationally, in galleries and non-profit venues. His work has also been visible at numerous art fairs such as Art Hong Kong, San Francisco Art Fair, Art Santa Fe, Texas Contemporary, Dallas Art Fair, Miami Project, Toronto International Art Fair, Los Angeles Art Show, Art Miami, and others.

Haussmann embraces the dialogue with his audience and the inclusion of the environment into his work. He engages in interactive projects and collaborations such as "Video Sonic Project" with the Media Institute of the University of Tuebingen; "Darwin's Coral - One Ocean Project", a collaborative exhibit with OneWorldOneOcean; "The Third Image", a photo project with Rick Ashley; "The Nucleus Project" with Werner Trotter; White-Out in collaboration with Mote Marine, Conor Goulding, in Sarasota, FL "Sea Debris Awareness Through Art"; and others.
He engages scientists in a non-verbal dialogue, "Dialogues", at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; participates in transatlantic exhibitions such as "KunstTraject langs de Leie", Belgium, and "Art in Embassies", Brussels; creates site-specific exhibitions such as at the ballroom of the Goethe Institute Boston; and more. Haussmann also enjoys the exchange with fellow artists and students. He has been a mentor and educator at Lesley University, Art Institute of Boston, and at New Hampshire Institute of Art; and since 2014 has been offering courses at the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill, Truro; the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown; and the Montserrat College of Art, Beverly.
"Conceptual art has more and more become an academic art, for people who don’t know how to make even academic art, and race, gender, and AIDS continue to elicit their quota of high-minded, self-righteous work. What light-years it seems from the huge ambitions– spiritual, formal, or rawly ego-driven –of a Kasimir Malevich, a Piet Mondrian, a Jackson Pollock, a Richard Serra, even a Julian Schnabel". Haussmann was the artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT (2012-2015.)
