Lot Details
Iron , gescheißt und korrodiert.
Gabler/Ohnesorge 468. Unique object. Ca. 222 x 56 x 52 cm. . [JS].
- Rare monumentality. The largest sculpture by the artist ever offered on the international auction market (www.artprice.com). - One of the first abstract steles that Croissant created in the early 1980s. - The monumental steles from this series of works show parallels to the contemporaneous creations of the American Hard Edge protagonist Ellsworth Kelly. - Croissant developed his abstract steles from figuration: from his standing figures of the 1970s, which were based on Greek and Egyptian models. - Fascinating multi-perspectivity and archaic aura.
LITERATURE: Klaus Waldschmidt (ed.): Michael Croissant, Muncih 2002, p. 104 (illustrated).
Hans-Joachim and Helga Preker Collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (until 2022).
In very good condition. The base plate has small abrasions in the rear corners, as well as irregularities and traces of cracking. The beautiful patina has very few insignificant abrasions.
