With his pair of sculptures, the artist has strikingly and convincingly reduced the difference between the sexes to mathematically describable basic forms. In doing so, he proves once again that artistic abstraction can hold on to the figurative, indeed, that it can even bring it to the point through intelligent reduction. However, Paul Wunderlich not only gets to the heart of the subject formally, but also ties the viewer emotionally to the couple by stimulating reflection on partnership and togetherness and making the viewer a dialogue partner of the two sculptures.

Hohberger's sculpture 'Aglaia' combines the myth of the Graces, who as Charites were already the goddesses of grace in Greek mythology. 'Aglaia' (= 'the splendour') was the hot-blooded wife of Vulcanus. According to Greek mythology, the Graces gave life its true pleasures; in their company, joy, jest and cheerfulness returned. In the company of Venus, Bacchus and Apollo, they ensure that the beloved becomes truly charming to the lover, the wife to the husband - and thus symbolise the joys of love par excellence.

The sculptor Peter Hohberger became known for his expressive depictions of the human body, preferably borrowing his themes from mythology. Fine abstraction and sensitivity as well as his classical and realistic modelling skills lend Hohberger's objects a special expressive power. In the case of Justitia, the artist was keen to avoid the Baroque pose in which the sword and scales are presented in an almost dancing manner: Hohberger recalled the depiction of the protective mantle Madonnas that appeared in Italy as early as the late 13th century. The cloak offers protection to those seeking refuge. Law, justice and jurisdiction protect society - a cloak that promises security to those seeking justice. ars mundi exclusive edition in a limited total edition of 298 copies, divided into two editions.
