Product information "Evert den Hartog: Sculpture 'Flying Owl', bronze"
Dutchman Evert den Hartog is a master of the moment. He is in more ways than one, as den Hartog has made a name for himself on the international art scene over the past few decades as a photographer and sculptor. Whether he depicts reality with a camera or creates this reality with the tools of a sculptor - in his case usually the bare hand armed with a spade - is irrelevant. The approach is the same. The result is thoroughly composed works of art that resemble 'frozen moments' ('Frozen Moments' is also the title of a monograph on Hartog) and have long inspired collectors and museums. To understand this, just take a look at his 'Flying Owl', which can best be described as a chain of (apparent) paradoxes: The work is a thoroughly naturalistic depiction and at the same time a mirror-symmetrical abstraction; you see a moving standstill and 'hear', as it were, a soundlessness rushing past. Sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled, polished and patinated by hand. Limited edition of 99 pieces, numbered, signed and hallmarked with the foundry and ars mundi stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation certificate. Size with base approx. 38 x 40.5 x 22.5 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 10.6 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
