The moment after the tee shot - captured in gleaming gold bronze. Torsten Mücke's 'Golfer' remains in a textbook posture and gazes after the flying golf ball. In this sculpture, the German sculptor expresses the body tension and concentration of the golfer with just a few, but precisely chosen contours.

Its essence becomes even more powerful and it becomes a universal symbol with many possible interpretations. Sculpture in fine bronze, chiselled and patinated.

Valerie Otte's bronze figures rarely actually present portraits, but rather sensitive character studies. Instead of poses, they offer the viewer a view of people to whom one involuntarily ascribes an emotional inner life. Otte's figures rest completely within themselves, so that the viewer believes he is witnessing an intimate moment. At the same time, they are 'in the world', which is particularly evident in her work 'In Thoughts of You': The young woman sits on a chair, lost in thought - perhaps in a quiet flat, perhaps in a lively café - and gazes pensively at her mobile phone. She may still be hesitating to call a loved one she misses, she may be looking at a photo of her. But there is no doubt that her thoughts are connected to the outside world. Valerie Otte gives the viewer a deep insight into the world of her protagonist's thoughts. Sculpture in fine bronze. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique and patinated green/grey.

The story of the Loreley, who combs her golden hair and lures ships to their doom, is one of the best-known German myths. It made a worldwide career at the latest in the form of the song by Friedrich Silcher to a text by Heinrich Heine ('Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten...'). However, the story is not a 'fairy tale from ancient times', as Heine put it: in the form we know today, it originated in the imagination of the Romantic poet Clemens Brentano and has since become so deeply embedded in the cultural memory of Germans that the Loreley has inspired numerous works of poetry, music and visual art. There are good reasons for St. Goarshausen to erect monuments to the Loreley: She has made the town world-famous and an attraction. One has been standing at the foot of the rock for some time. Since spring 2023, there has been a second one in a much more prominent location, on the Loreley plateau itself. The 2.20-metre-high sculpture was created by Berlin sculptor Valerie Otte, whose design won out over more than 50 competitors in a national realisation competition with subsequent public participation. Valerie Otte depicts the beautiful Loreley classically on a rocky pedestal and has added a number of insignia from the history of the Loreley to her figure. Her flowing hair resembles the course of a river. In her version of the Loreley, however, the artist emphasises less the gruesome nature of the danger that, according to legend, she represents for the boatmen. In her own words, she is trying to show a 'feminine view of the Loreley' - as a woman who mourns her beloved and is 'very absorbed in herself and her thoughts'. Original: 2023, bronze, height 220 cm, Loreley rock plateau on the Middle Rhine, Rhineland-Palatinate. Sculpture in artificial marble. Moulded from the original and reduced in size (reduction). Signed in the mould. With certificate of authenticity. Size approx. 22.5 x 9 x 8 cm (h/w/d). Weight approx. 0.6 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.
