Product information "Knuth Seim: Sculpture 'Stargazer', bronze"
Astronomy is the beginning of all science, and today, as thousands of years ago, people look up at the heavens with fascination. Knuth Seim's 'Stargazer' is no exception - armed with a long telescope, he gazes at the glittering firmament. Seim depicts him with almost dramatic body tension: His feet are slightly angled for a secure stance and his head is tilted far back as he tries to capture his target. With the Stargazer, Seim, born in 1961 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz), returns to his artistic roots. The trained stonemason and studied sculptor has mostly worked in a simple, reduced formal language since a study visit to Senegal, but here he once again realises his motif in a completely figurative and realistic manner. The figure was originally created as a design for a group of sculptures for Märkischer Platz in the 'City of Optics' in Rathenow. Sculpture cast in bronze using the lost wax technique, chiselled and patinated. Limited edition of 199 pieces, signed and numbered. Format 12 x 40 x 10 cm (W/H/D). Weight approx. 2.5 kg. Exclusively at ars mundi.
