Product information "Ottmar Hörl: Sculpture 'Ben', silver-plated version"
Dwarves enjoy his special attention. They have brought the conceptual and action artist Ottmar Hörl cross-border attention and recognition. With his spectacular large-scale installations in public spaces, the professor and former president of the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg pursues the goal of promoting dialogue and exploring the tensions between art and society. With his praying dwarf Ben, which Hörl presented for the first time at the art.fair Cologne in 2005 through the Maisenbacher Art Gallery and which represents his reaction to the headline 'We are Pope', he expresses the socially unifying and globally understood gesture of prayer as a symbol of spiritual and philosophical abilities. Limited special edition of 980 pieces made of fine silver-plated cast metal, signed and numbered. With certificate. Format 15 x 5.5 x 6 cm (H/W/D). Weight approx. 1.2 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
