Description from the seller
Monumental Masterpiece: Five-Part Pine Wood Steles Ensemble by Wolfgang Kreutter
Give your premises an unparalleled architectural presence.
For sale is an impressive five-part wall artwork by the renowned sculptor Wolfgang Kreutter. The ensemble of solid wood steles captivates with its monumental size and the masterful fusion of strict geometry and organically flowing forms.
The fascinating cut-outs and circular cutouts in the solid wooden bodies create a dynamic play of light and shadow. Depending on the incidence of light and the perspective, the artwork changes its effect and lends large spaces a living yet exalted atmosphere.
Provenance with a history
This special work of art not only has aesthetic value but also historical significance. It was created for the opening of the Schmallenberg Landjugendakademie (Hochsauerlandkreis) in 1961 and has significantly shaped the architectural overall image there. Now this historically significant one-off piece is seeking a new sphere of influence.
Ideal for representative architecture
With a notable height of over three meters per stele, this ensemble reveals its full impact best on generous wall surfaces. It is the perfect statement piece for:
• Wide corporate foyers and lobbies
• Cultural centers, museums, or galleries
• Modern auditoriums and conference rooms
• Generous lofts or architecturally demanding private homes
