AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Wall ceramic zodiac sign 'Taurus' made by Helmut Schäffenacker around 1965.
Taurus, model N 49, from the series «Sternzeichen 'Bunt'».
Height 25 cm (9.8"), Width 25 cm (9.8"), Depth 5 cm (2")
Weight - 2.4 kg.
In good condition and without chips, except for a nearly invisible (expert) restoration of a crack at the bottom-right corner.
Nevertheless this board retains its value, for the simple reason that these wall boards are almost impossible to obtain.
Schäffenacker made two series of all the zodiac signs. One series in subdued earthy tones and the series 'Bunt' in vibrant colors (bronze, blue, green, orange and yellow), of which this Taurus is an example.
Helmut Friedrich Schäffenacker (1921-2010) was born in Ulm, Germany, and was the son of the painter Otto Schäffenacker.
Helmut is a sculptor, painter, and ceramic artist. He already had his own studio at a young age and gained wide recognition for his expressive art, including wall ceramics and abstract vases and sculptures.
