Wolf Kahlen began studying at the Braunschweig School of Art in 1960. From 1961 to 1964 he studied art education at the Hochschule der Künste (HDK) in Berlin, which he passed with the state examination as an art teacher in 1964, and American studies and Finnish at the Freie Universität Berlin. In between, in 1962, he was a guest student at the Ateneum in Helsinki in the field of graphics with Aukusti Tuhka (August Tuhkanen). His first solo exhibition also took place at this time.
From 1965 to 1966 he stayed in the United States on a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and studied at Columbia University in New York and at the renowned Pratt Institute. During this time he made acquaintances with Rudolf Arnheim, Allan Kaprow, Marcel Breuer and Richard Tuttle, developed basic plastic structures for room segments and was able to realize the UMBILDER-ROTARIES exhibition in the Goethe House Gallery in New York in 1966.
