Product information "Rainer Kriester: Sculpture 'Große Tätowierung' (1982), reduction in light bronze"
Rainer Kriester (1935-2002) is one of the most important German sculptors of the late 20th century. His international breakthrough came in the 1980s, when he created numerous 'head signs', some of them monumental figures made of bronze, wood and stone. They are not masks, but highly individualised heads, engraved with the traces of life lived and experienced. It was the artist's express wish that scaled-down versions of his large-scale works be produced in bronze. We have now produced a numbered and signed special edition of 49 pieces each in either dark or light patinated bronze as an ars mundi exclusive edition. Original: 1982, ash wood, 195 x 60 x 95 cm, WVZ 230, privately owned by the Kriester family. Sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled by hand, polished and lightly patinated. Moulded directly from the original and reduced. Limited edition of 49 pieces, individually numbered, signed and hallmarked with the foundry stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation certificate. Format 24.5 x 10 x 11.5 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 3.2 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
