The German sculptor and artist Mary Hilde Ruth Bauermeister died today at an advanced age.

She became involved with the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen in Cologne in 1957 and married him ten years later in San Francisco. They had a daughter and a son, and divorced after five years.

Baumeister returned to Germany and continued her work in many art forms, including garden design. For an appreciation of her work as an artist, see here.
