Symbolising the German poet and thinker: 'The Poor Poet'. No other work of art by Spitzweg enjoys such great popularity to this day. A survey revealed that 'The Poor Poet' - right after Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' - is one of the Germans' favourite paintings. Spitzweg has staged the image of the poet concentrating solely on the spiritual in a prototypical way here: Equipped against the cold with a blanket, a worn jacket and a sleeping cap and protected by an umbrella against the ingress of rainwater, he unperturbedly devotes himself to his work. The motif is now available exclusively from ars mundi as a romantic table sculpture for the first time. Our sculptor's model lovingly reproduces Spitzweg's original down to the last detail.

In his works, Chen Wenling deals with various current but also timeless themes, e.g. changes within society, the nature of human beings or growing consumer behaviour. His sculptures are full of symbolism and combine critical commentary with subtle humour. The sometimes grotesque exaggeration of the motifs makes them particularly poignant. This is also the case with the sculpture 'Games', which shows two naked, carefree boys - albeit not realistically, but in the bright signal colour red and with surreal shapes of arms and legs. This deliberate manipulation of the human form makes it an independent and powerful symbol of freedom, naturalness and joie de vivre.bronze sculpture, hand-patinated in red, cast using the lost wax technique on a stainless steel base. Limited edition of 300 pieces, signed. With certificate. Size 46 x 13 x 16 cm (h/w/d). Weight 2.4 kg.

Christoph Fischer summarises his works in various series. These include, for example, his series of boats and fish, summarised under the title 'Tiefe' (depth), then mythological works and, for some years now, almost archaic-looking, shield-armoured guardian figures. However, Fischer has always remained true to animal sculpture and has achieved great mastery in this field. His barn owl, depicted in perfect proportions and only slightly abstracted, looks at the viewer with penetrating eyes and seems to say with the wisdom of all owl birds: "You think you know. But I am wise." Sculpture in fine bronze, cast using the lost wax technique, chiselled by hand, polished and patinated brown. Limited edition of 99 pieces, numbered, monogrammed and hallmarked with the foundry and ars mundi stamp. With numbered certificate of authenticity and limitation certificate.
