'How can that be? Shouldn't it fall down?" cries reason. 'No,' replies the BALANGRAV and rests in itself. A beam that, although it is only supported at a single point outside its centre, still lies horizontally? Physically impossible, actually. Unless you allow yourself to play with gravity. Michael Wedig took up the challenge and combined proven engineering expertise with unconstrained creativity in the realisation of the BALANGRAV. No electronics, no batteries. All that counts with the BALANGRAV is mechanical understanding and an appreciation of precise manual labour. Once triggered, it swings up and down with its long end and takes enough time to come to rest again. Beam and prism made of highly polished stainless steel. Base made of polished and oiled walnut wood and artificial stone. Size 5.5 x 24 x 7 cm (H/W/D). Weight approx. 1.2 kg. Delivery includes polishing cloth.
The BALANSPHERE reminds us of a fundamental principle of existence: everything vibrates, everything is subject to a rhythm, actively flows with it or lets itself drift. From the heartbeat to the breath to the changing of the seasons - we are surrounded by rhythms. The BALANSPHERE by Michael Wedig picks up on this rhythm. Even in its resting position, it is characterised by a special aesthetic. Because the sphere is not rigid. It is movable, and once set in motion, it reveals the true quality of the BALANSPHERE: just like the pendulum of a grandfather clock, it swings back and forth. Silent, calming, free from the hustle and bustle. It invites the viewer's gaze to accompany its path and follow its rhythm. Sculpture made of rust-free, highly polished stainless steel. Size 5 x 24 x 7 cm (H/W/D). Weight approx. 0.7 kg. Delivery includes polishing cloth.

A sign of God and symbol of healing power: When the people of Israel had to persevere in the desert, some spoke out against God and Moses. God punished the doubters with a plague of snakes, as a result of which many died. Moses asked for mercy and God told him to mould an image of a snake and place it on a pole. Whoever was poisoned was healed by the mystical power of the serpent and his faith. Michelangelo used this scene from the Old Testament to create one of the corner scenes of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The three-dimensional realisation of this global work of art is available exclusively from ars mundi. Edition in polymer art casting, gilded by hand with hammered metal. With nickel-plated brass rod and artificial stone base. Height 44.5 cm.

Only 23 years old, Michelangelo created one of his most poignant works with the sculptural group of Our Lady with her Son - the only sculpture he ever signed. Mary's timelessly youthful face expresses a restrained pain, which is also evident in the devoted gesture of her left hand. In contrast to the artists who created this motif before him, Michelangelo does not emphasise pain as a prerequisite for redemption, but shows divine beauty as the result of redemption. Original: St Peter's Basilica, Rome. Reduction. Polymer ars mundi museum replica, cast by hand. Size 23 x 29 x 14 cm (W/H/D).
When Michelangelo created the vaulted frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome between 1508 and 1512, he was already playing a decisive role in the artistic and intellectual life of Italy. The ceiling fresco depicts the story of creation in nine scenes. Two hands form its centre: the one on the viewer's left belongs to the reclining Adam, the one on the right to God the Father descending from a cloud. The indirect touch of their two index fingers made the fresco famous: the gesture symbolises the miracle of creation with incredible lightness and elegance. Michelangelo is not actually depicting the creation of man, but rather his animation, symbolising the transcendence of the divine spark. The wall object lifts the centrepiece of the spectacular work into the third dimension. The object heightens the sculptural effect and concentrates entirely on the content: the longing for the divine and its fulfilment in gifted art. Original: Sistine Chapel, Rome. Edition in bronze. Cast by hand using the lost wax technique. Size 58 x 25 x 15 cm. Weight 9 kg.
