Kesselhaus Josephsohn / Galerie Felix Lehner, St. Gallen
Private collection, Switzerland (acquired at the above)
Hans-Jurgen Lechtreck Aa, Vv, Hans Josephsohn, Existenzielle Plastik, Museum Folkwang, 2018, p. 120-128 (comparable work)
The sculpture is registered in the Josephsohn index of Kesselhaus Josephsohn under no. 3088.
Throughout his career, Josephsohn's sculptures focus on the human figure as a volume in space. This large half-figure in brass is one of the best examples to appear on the market. The simplicity of the form evokes the simple postures of the human body, prehistory, ancient stone steeles and Romanesque figures.
