Sfeir-Semler started representing Ian Hamilton Finlay in 1991, holding five solo exhibitions in its spaces in Kiel then Hamburg over the last decades, as well as presenting the work at international art fairs, in group exhibitions, and in instutions worldwide. In Hamburg, his work is in the collections of the Hamburger Kunsthalle and a permanent installation is embedded in the ground in front of its Galerie der Gegenwart: a sentence in German that reads Heimat is not the land – it is the communion of feelings. An extensive show celebrated his oeuvre at the Deichtorhallen in 1995.
