Zeitgenössische Kunst

Online - Moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst – In der Terrakotta-Figur von 1989 dokumentiert Christa Baumgärtel ihren fokussierten Blick auf den menschlichen Körper als Form gewordene Präsenz. Das Material - schamottierter Ton - bildet eine körnige und rissige Oberfläche, was der Figur in Verbindung mit ihrer reduzierten Form eine archaische Wirkung verleiht. In der Reduktion der Figur auf das Wesentliche verweist die Gestalt zugleich auf Körperlichkeit und Formgedanke: Volumen und Oberfläche treten in eine stille Spannung und bringen Baumgärtels bildhauerischen Ansatz, der Prozesse wie Modellieren und Hohle Aufbautechnik mit einem intuitiven Verhältnis zu Material und Körper verbindet, deutlich zum Ausdruck.

Online - Modern and Contemporary Art – Terracotta. Dated and with the artist's signee on the reverse. On a plexiglass base. - Partially slightly dusty. Overall very good. - In the terracotta figure from 1989, Christa Baumgärtel documents her focussed view of the human body as a presence that has become form. The material - fireclay - forms a grainy and cracked surface, which, in combination with its reduced form, lends the figure an archaic effect. In the reduction of the figure to the essentials, the shape simultaneously refers to physicality and the idea of form: volume and surface enter into a quiet tension and clearly express Baumgärtel's sculptural approach, which combines processes such as modelling and hollow construction techniques with an intuitive relationship to material and body.
