Stephan Balkenhol, Mann Mit Margeriten-Augen

Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York 
Acquired by the present owner from the above in 1997

This work is in very good condition overall. The sculpture is separate from its wood base. There are inherent variations to the wood, including minor splitting, chipping and differentiation in color, due to the artist's working method. The base measures 39 by 42 by 29 inches. There is general light wear throughout the base including some minor pigment losses throughout, particularly on top and legs, some various faint accretions and minor scattered nicks.
