Robert Nippoldt
Robert Nippoldt (born 1977 in Kranenburg, Germany) is a German illustrator, graphic designer and book artist.[1] He studied graphic design and illustration at the University of Applied Sciences in Münster. The book “Gangster. Die Bosse von Chicago” was his thesis project. Two years later in 2007, his second book “Jazz. New York in the Roaring Twenties”[2][3] was published. It was translated into several languages and won numerous awards. In 2010 “Hollywood in the 1930s”,[4] his third book on 1920s and 30s America, came out. His books are accompanied by games and limited edition silkscreen prints.[5] In addition to his book projects, he illustrates for international magazines and clients including The New Yorker,[6] Le Monde, Die ZEIT, Mercedes-Benz, Reader’s Digest,[7] Taschen[8] and TIME Magazine. For commissions of this nature he collaborates with his sister Astrid Nippoldt and his wife, Christine Nippoldt, as part of their own label, Studio Nippoldt.[9][10] Robert Nippoldt’s works have been shown in exhibitions in Germany,[11] Switzerland,[12] and Spain.[13] His studio is located at the old freight yard in Münster.
