'Hans in Luck' is the symbol of a positive mindset: He makes the best out of every exchange, every situation and thus goes through life highly satisfied. You too can get the best out of life - with this sculpture by Jürgen Götze. Puss in Boots, Hans in Luck, Baron von Münchhausen... and what they are all called: since childhood, when we first heard the fairy tales and stories, each of us has had a precise image of these characters in our minds. Artists are no different - not even the sculptors who have been commissioned by us to create their version of these childhood companions. We have the intricately crafted models of their childhood imaginations elaborately cast - these sculpture models are available exclusively from ars mundi. Sculpture in cast metal with bronzed surface, signed by the artist. Size 10.5 x 18 x 10 cm (W/H/D). Weight 2.3 kg.
Jürgen Götze's interpretation of love exclusively at ars mundi. Before Götze decided to work as a freelance artist in 1999, he had already put his skills at the service of one of Germany's leading porcelain manufacturers for 15 years. What already characterised his work back then (perfection in every spatula stroke, the patient shaping of fine details and an unerring eye for proportions) also characterises his free works. Götze is committed to the figurative tradition, especially the depiction of the human body. His style, however, is also modelled on the works of 20th century modernism. The lovers turned towards each other in intimate tenderness can therefore be recognised as contemporary at first glance. With 'Hingabe', he has succeeded in creating a work of great emotional density - an edition in polymer art marble. Limited edition of 299 copies, numbered and signed. Format 21.5 x 30 x 18 cm (H/W/D). Weight 6.4 kg. ars mundi exclusive edition.

Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was often perceived as a primarily socially, even politically motivated artist, as she repeatedly raised her voice for the poor and oppressed in her work. Kollwitz insisted on humanity even in inhumane times, and this alone could, indeed had to be understood as a political position. However, her significance to the present day lies in the fact that she never worked boldly, but at the same time lent the figures she created an intimacy that virtually precludes them from being read as one-dimensional 'symbols' or 'examples'. This can also be seen in a central work from her late oeuvre, 'Abschied' (Farewell) from 1940/41, in which the artist deals with the pain of the death of Karl Kollwitz, her partner for over half a century, who died in 1940. The motif of the embrace is often found in Kollwitz' work, here she moulds it into an image of the greatest closeness and intimacy at the moment of loss. It is a work of small gestures: while she still clings to him, he detaches himself from her - it is a leaving, but also a letting go, perhaps also the moment of acceptance of the inevitable. Sculpture in fine bronze, patinated. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique. Moulded directly from the original and enlarged.

In her graphic and sculptural work, Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) repeatedly raised her voice in favour of the poor and oppressed. In particular, she developed the motif of the woman and mother, which she used to symbolise protection and care, but also guiltless suffering. Her sculpture 'Pietà ' unites both motifs to a certain extent: on the one hand, the mother figure embraces her adult son lying in her lap; on the other hand, the figure is, as the artist herself put it, 'something like a Pietà ' and thus draws on an art-historical motif that shows the suffering of Jesus' mother in the face of the dead Christ. However, Kollwitz expressly did not want her sculpture to be understood as religious. Rather, the mother depicted is 'an old, lonely and darkly contemplative woman' (according to Kollwitz), who, one could go on to say, retains her dignity even in the experience of catastrophe.her probably best-known sculpture was created at a time when the Nazi regime had banned Käthe Kollwitz from her profession.

With his work 'Giulia', Kay once again proves himself to be a sculptor who, in addition to his free works, has also mastered the formal language of classical sculpture.
